Hydrofera Blue CLASSIC Ostomy ®

Hydrofera Blue CLASSIC® offers specialty dressings for ostomy appliances, where the need to manage bioburden is always a priority.

Our Ostomy dressing provides effective protection against a wide range of bacteria, yeast and microorganisms that commonly trouble stoma sites. It includes a moisture-retentive film and can be used under barriers without affecting barrier adhesion.

Key attributes of Hydrofera Blue CLASSIC Ostomy 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.

Maintains moisture-rich environment

Helps maintain a balanced, moisture-rich environment for the wound bed, improving blood flow to the wound site and promoting epithelization (the formation of new skin tissue over the wound).

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.

No hydration required

Designed to be more user-friendly, the dressing can be applied directly to the wound without the need for pre-wetting.

    Application Guide

  • 1

    Debride the wound of any necrotic tissue prior to the initial application of the dressing. Clean the wound with normal saline or an appropriate cleansing solution.

  • 2

    Trim the inner diameter of the Hydrofera Blue Ostomy dressing to fit around the stoma. If needed, trim the outer edge of the dressing as well so that at least ½" of skin barrier extends beyond the outer edge of the dressing. Apply the film side of the dressing to the ostomy skin barrier. Apply the skin barrier to the skin.

  • 3

    A new dressing should be applied with each skin barrier change and at least every 3 days. However, if there is increased exudate or the wound's condition changes, the dressing should be changed more frequently.

  • 4

    Consider using an ostomy belt or skin barrier with a tape border. Consider using a larger skin barrier to ensure coverage over the entire wound area and so there is an adequate skin barrier around the outer circumference of the Hydrofera Blue Ostomy Dressing.

  • 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 dressings are used in wound care management and are specifically designed to help manage and heal various types of wounds. They are primarily used for exudate management and can be used in a range of wound types, including:

    • Pressure ulcers
    • Diabetic foot ulcers
    • Venous insufficiency ulcers
    • Post-surgical and traumatic wounds

    Ensure to select the most suitable type of Hydrofera Blue dressing based on the wound's specific needs and the healing stage to promote optimal wound healing.
