Hydrofiber ™ technology

How the Hydrofiber Technology works:

• Hydrofiber® Technology quickly gels in contact with the liquid and absorbs it directly into its fibers
• The gelling action creates an optimal environment for wound healing and reduces the risk of infection

Blocks exudate and traps bacteria

• Helps protect the periwound skin and reduce maceration
• It can help reduce cross-infection during removal

Micro conforms to the wound bed

• It minimizes the "dead space" where bacteria can proliferate
• Maintains the optimal moist environment in the wound bed

Reacts to the condition of the injury

• Forms a cohesive gel in contact with wound exudate
• Provides rapid and sustained antimicrobial activity on demand * (dressings with ionic silver)
