A Comprehensive Guide to Hydrofera Blue® Dressings

Hydrofera Blue® wound dressings are revolutionizing wound care with their unique composition
and advanced healing properties. These antimicrobial foam dressings offer a powerful, non-
toxic solution that supports all phases of wound healing, from infection control to rapid tissue
regeneration.


What are Hydrofera Blue Dressings?
Hydrofera Blue® dressings are antibacterial foam dressings can be used for a range of wound
care needs and offer a non-toxic healing environment, making them effective in all phases of the
wound healing process.
They incorporate methylene blue and gentian violet pigments to provide broad-spectrum
antibacterial protection while absorbing excess drainage and helping to control bioburden,
promoting faster healing, and preventing infection.
 
Key benefits of Hydrofera Blue foam dressings
Hydrofera Blue wound dressings deliver superior clinical outcomes by providing the prime
conditions for natural wound healing:

  1. Natural Negative Pressure: Draws out debris and exudate without requiring powered
    devices
  2. Effective Antibacterial Properties: Non-cytotoxic agents prevent infection while
    supporting the body’s natural healing response
  3. Biofilm Disruption: Reduces necrotic tissue and excess drainage, aiding in biofilm
    removal and faster healing
  4. Moisture Retention: Supports autolytic debridement, reduces pain, encourages
    collagen production, and improves healing quality
     

Dressings that support moisture retention
Hydrofera Blue can absorb high amounts of fluid and create a moisture-rich environment for the
wound bed, offering several benefits that result in a better quality of healing: 

  • Enables autolytic debridement (the natural ability of the body’s own enzymes to remove
    necrotic tissue and slough from a wound [1]) 
  • Reduces pain 
  • Reduces scarring 
  • Activates collagen synthesis 
  • Keeps important nutrients, growth factors, and other helpful substances around the
    wound 

The multiple advantages of Hydrofera Blue dressings with moisture mean they can powerfully
tackle any type of non-healing or chronic wounds. This ultimately leads to lower treatment costs
in clinical practice, faster healing and better patient outcomes.  

What are Hydrofera Blue dressings used for?
Hydrofera Blue foam dressings can be used on all types of acute, non-healing and chronic
wounds, including deep wounds and infected wounds:

  • Diabetic ulcers
  • Arterial ulcers
  • Pressure injuries
  • Burns
  • Donor sites
  • Chronic wounds

With their ability to manage exudate, control infection, and maintain a moist environment,
Hydrofera Blue offers an all-in-one solution for enhanced healing and reduced treatment costs.
