HydroClean plus, developed by HARTMANN,has been ranked in the top three dressings worldwide.
HydroClean plus received its commendation from the Journal of Wound Care(JWC) and the acclaimed World Union of Wound Healing Societies (WUWHS), which selected it as one of the top three products in the category of ‘Most Innovative Wound Dressings’ at the 2016 WUWHS Congress in Florence.
With its rinsing, absorption mechanism, HydroClean plus is a Hydro-Responsive Wound Dressing that provides optimum wound bed preparation. Patients living with chronic wounds can face lengthy healing processes and quality of life challenges, which is why it is important to provide effective wound bed preparation that promotes faster wound healing from the outset.
Bacteria, necrotic tissue and fibrin hinder wound healing. The patented HydroClean plus uses its rising-absorption combination to create a moist wound bed, which promotes autolytic debridement. The combination reduces harmful Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that trigger inflammation –one of the key causes of delayed healing in chronic wounds –by up to 87%. The product continues to rinse the area with Ringer’s solution, which is contained within the Hydro-Responsive Dressing core and keeps the area moist for up to three days. The patented dressing facilitates autolytic debridement without harsh mechanical methods. HydroClean plus also contains the antiseptic Polyhexanide (polyhexamethylene biguanide, PHMB), which has an antimicrobial effect within the wound pad.
