A Comprehensive Guide to Hydrofera Blue® Dressings

What are Hydrofera Blue Dressings?
Hydrofera Blue® are antibacterial foam dressings that 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. Continuous Wicking: Provides an effective antibacterial barrier that wicks debris and exudate and reduces bacterial load
  2. Gentle, Effective Infection Control:: Non-cytotoxic agents prevent infection while supporting the body’s natural healing response
  3. Moisture Retention: Supports autolytic debridement and moisture balance, which helps improve healing quality

Dressings that support moisture retention 

Hydrofera Blue dressings can absorb high amounts of exudate and create a moisture-rich environment for the wound bed: 

  • Enables autolytic debridement (the natural ability of the body’s own enzymes to remove necrotic tissue and slough from a wound [1]) 
  • Manages bioburden
  • Promotes profusion
  • Does not inhibit growth factors

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 foot ulcers
  • Venous leg ulcers
  • Arterial ulcers
  • Pressure injuries
  • Partial thickness burns
  • Donor sites
  • Traumatic 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.
