Hydrofilm is a self-adhesive transparent film dressing that is indispensable in modern wound management. With numerous product benefits, Hydrofilm primarily provides reliable protection of the wound against secondary infections.
Application:
For protection against secondary infections and mechanical irritation in dry, primarily healing wounds, in almost healed epithelial wounds, as well as for catheter and cannula fixation; ideal for covering gel-forming calcium alginate dressings, e.g. Sorbalgon.
Characteristics:
Hydrofilm is germ-proof and waterproof, yet permeable to oxygen and water vapour. It therefore provides an effective microbial barrier without significantly impairing the skin’s ability to breathe. It helps prevent irritation of the skin surrounding the wound.
The skin-friendliness of Hydrofilm is supported by the use of a hypoallergenic adhesive, which is well tolerated even by patients with particularly sensitive skin.
Despite its reliable adhesion, the dressing can be removed painlessly and without damaging newly formed epithelium.
The ultra-thin and elastic material of Hydrofilm conforms perfectly to body contours. The adhesive underside is covered with a firmer protective film, ensuring easy application even when wearing gloves.
The transparency of Hydrofilm allows the wound and surrounding skin area, as well as catheter and cannula fixation sites, to be inspected at any time without the time-consuming removal of the dressing.
The waterproof material of Hydrofilm makes daily personal care easier; showering with the dressing in place is possible.
