Hydrogel

Hydrogel dressings, available through Independence Australia, help regulate fluid exchange from the wound surface. By providing moisture to the wound, hydrogel dressings create a moist healing environment. Hydrogel dressings help with wound care as it promotes granulation, epithelialisation and autolytic debridement. The high-water content of hydrogel dressings cools the wound, producing pain relief that can last up to 6 hours. Dressing-change discomfort is also reduced because hydrogel dressings don’t adhere to the wound surface. Hydrogel dressings are available in adhesive and non-adhesive forms and are suitable for epithelial tissue, superficial burns, and other painful conditions such as, arterial leg ulcers and shingles.
