Wounds heal faster at less cost

In a recent retrospective study examining wound treatment data of more than 30,000 patients over a two-year period, Hydrofera Blue dressings combined with an Advanced Wound Management Program showed faster healing times and lower treatment costs.

  • Compared with other advanced wound dressings, Hydrofera Blue showed a 7-day reduction in healing time and a 24% reduction in nursing labour cost.

  • Compared with other commonly used dressings on patients who were not on an Advanced Wound Management Program, Hydrofera Blue delivered over a 50% reduction in healing time and a 75% reduction in nursing labour cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean if I see white spots on the dressing when I check it at 24 hours?

The bacterial load in those areas is very high and the dressing should be changed.

Do I have to hydrate Hydrofera Blue Classic if I have a heavily exudating wound?

Yes. Hydrate with Sterile water or Saline. The consistency of wound exudate may be too thick and may not allow the pores in the foam to completely open.

Do I have to hydrate Hydrofera Blue Ready or Transfer?

No

Hydrofera Blue Classic is always dry when I go to change the dressing. Is this normal?

No. In order to prevent this situation, please re-evaluate your cover dressing. If you have a highly draining wound, the cover dressing should be absorptive. If you have a dry wound and need to add moisture, the cover dressing should be occlusive.
