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.

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 exudate and debris away from the wound bed
  2. Infection Management: 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
  • Does not inhibit growth factors

The multiple advantages of Hydrofera Blue® dressings 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.
