Uses
For use on nil to low exuding wounds. Hydrosorb® is especially suitable for the treatment of chronic, slow healing wounds where granulation is not progressing satisfactorily3. It can be used as a debriding agent on necrotic tissue3 by facilitating autolytic debridement and is cooling and soothing due to the high water content, which acts as a natural anaesthetic effect by bathing nerve endings2.
