What is Hydrofiber Technology?

Hydrofiber is a soft, hydrophilic, super-absorbent material. This fleecy material draws in wound fluid, which turns the bandage into a gel-like substance. Because this item absorbs and holds wound exudate, it both draws harmful bacteria and debris out of the wound and keeps the wound bed slightly moistened to help speed up the healing process. This also helps prevent unhealthy maceration (indicated by whitening of the skin). This resulting gel conforms to the wound bed instead of just covering it, which helps prevent the entrance of new bacteria. It also soothes and cools the wound bed for patient comfort. Finally, this material is ultra-strong, stays in one piece, and does not stick to wound surfaces. This makes removal painless and easy.
