Hydrosorb Wound Gel

Description

Hydrosorb Gel is a clear, viscous, sterile amorphous hydrogel designed for moist wound treatment. Formulated with water and electrolytes (Ringer’s solution), glycerol, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), it supports autolytic debridement by hydrating and softening dry necrotic tissue while absorbing debris in slightly to low-exuding wounds. The gel is preservative-free and contains no propylene glycol. It helps maintain an optimal moist environment for healing and can be applied directly to the wound bed or on gauze for use in cavity wounds. Classified under Hydroactive Wound Dressings – Hydrogels (Amorphous Gel).

Composition

• Water with electrolytes (Ringer’s solution)
• Glycerol
• Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)
• Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)
• Preservative-free; propylene glycol-free

Indications/Intended Use

• Softens and hydrates dry necrotic tissue
• Facilitates autolytic debridement/removal of devitalized tissue
• Absorbs debris and exudate in slightly/low-exuding wounds
• Maintains a moist wound environment to support healing
• Suitable for chronic dry wounds and for cavity wounds when applied on gauze

Key Features

• Individually sealed, single-use units to support aseptic application
• Dispenser syringes with measuring scale for direct, controlled dosing
• Can be washed out with a sterile rinsing solution without disturbing the wound bed
• Clear, viscous gel consistency for easy placement and visualization

Presentation and Sizes

• Tubes: 8 g (box of 5); 15 g (box of 10)
• Syringes: 8 g (box of 5); 15 g (box of 10)

Directions for Use

• Apply approximately a 5 mm layer to the wound bed; may be applied directly or on gauze
• For cavity wounds, lightly pack gauze impregnated with gel into the cavity
• Always use an appropriate secondary dressing to prevent drying out
• Typical wear time: up to 2 days; adjust based on exudate level and clinical practice

Contraindications/Precautions

• Not for heavily exuding wounds
• Not for full-thickness burns
• Do not use where clinical signs of infection are present
• Contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any component of the gel

Notes on Scope

Information applies to Hydrosorb Gel (amorphous hydrogel) only and excludes sheet hydrogel dressings, which are separate products.
