Hydrofera Blue CLASSIC Heavy ®
Hydrofera Blue® CLASSIC Heavy Drainage Dressing is designed for wounds with heavy exudate.
It helps heal deep and tunneling wounds by maintaining a moist optimal healing environment, while absorbing bacteria-laden exudate.
Key attributes of Hydrofera Blue CLASSIC Heavy Drainage Dressing:

Powerful wicking and high absorbency
Strong wicking and retention capabilities help draw bacteria-laden exudate into the foam and away from the wound surface with ease. This is achieved by taking advantage of the natural negative pressure through capillary flow.
Edge Effect
Helps resolve rolled or epiboled wound edges.
Maintains moisture-rich environment
Helps maintain a moist wound environment without the need for hydration and has a wear time of up to 7 days, requiring fewer dressing changes.
Non-cytotoxic
The dressing is non-cytotoxic, making it safe to use. It doesn't inhibit growth factors or fibroblasts and provides protection against a broad spectrum of bacteria in all phases of the wound-healing process.

Application Guide
Learn moreSoak with sterile saline or sterile water for approximately 5-10 minutes, squeezing out any excess liquid.
For flat wound, cut dressing to fit wound bed. If rolled wound edges are present, overlap the wound edge by ½ centimeter. The dressing should cover both the wound and periwound area. If the wound has depth, loosely fill the cavity, undermining, sinus tract or tunnel with the dressing.
Cover foam with secondary dressing, based on exudate level to keep the foam moist.
Ensure to change the dressing every 3 days and as required. If the dressing retained its blue color where it had been in contact with the wound, the new dressing can be left in place for up to 3 days. If the dressing turned white or lightened in color, continue daily dressing changes until blue color is retained.
Note:
- If the dressing retained its blue color where it had been in contact with the wound, the new dressing can be left in place for up to 3 days.
- If the dressing turned white or lightened in color, continue daily dressing changes until blue color is retained.
- If the dressing turned white or lightened in color, continue daily dressing changes until blue color is retained.
As with many wound care dressings, moisture balance is key. If the dressing becomes dry, remoisten with sterile saline or sterile water to prevent wound bed irritation.

Hydrofera Blue® offers a powerful suite of antibacterial wound dressings that use a proprietary polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or polyurethane (PU) foam in combination with two naturally occurring, organic pigments – methylene blue and gentian violet – for wound healing.
These sponge-like foams have impressive absorptive capabilities that help draw debris and exudate away from the wound bed through natural negative pressure. This action also attracts the body's natural healing agents to the wound, promoting improved healing. By removing bacterial bioburden from the wound, Hydrofera Blue dressings can help reduce the wound size and accelerate healing.
Hydrofera Blue products are ideal for wounds with light, moderate, and heavy exudate. They are safe, effective, and versatile, creating a balanced healing environment and supporting all phases of the wound healing process.
Hydrofera Blue CLASSIC® wound dressings are non-cytotoxic and can manage moderate to heavy exudate in the following types of wounds, including pressure injuries, venous leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, abrasions, lacerations, post-surgical incisions, and other external wounds infected by trauma:
- Deep, tunneling, or shallow
- With or without devitalized tissue/slough and debris
- Infected or at risk of infection
- Acute or chronic wounds
