Hydrogel

Hydrogel

Promote healing with hydrogel. This gel offers a non-greasy way to maintain a hydrated environment for proper wound healing. There are pads and dressings with hydrogel in different sizes that can effectively absorb exudate. Browse hydrogel from brands such as Medline, Carrington and Medela to find the wound dressing or gel that can help you or a loved one heal faster and more easily.

Careful consideration

Your doctor should give you direction on the wound dressing and gel to use for your particular lesion, and following that guidance is important for proper healing. Certain adhesive bandages serve important functions in creating an ideal environment to improve or accelerate the healing process. In addition to the dressing and hydrogel, there are also surgical sponges to help you care for your wound. Some foam wound dressings can help prevent bacterial contamination, and hydrofiber dressings are formulated to kill pathogens.
