Hydrogel dressings are cross-linked polymer based gels that may be made into sheets. They are able to provide and maintain a moist wound environment. There are several benefits associated with increased moisture content, including the cleansing and debriding of necrotic tissue.
Hydrogels sheets can hold themselves in place; however, they are non-adherent (they do not bond to the wound, skin or hair) and thus can be removed without causing additional trauma to the wound bed. Hydrogel sheets have an immediate cooling effect which promotes vaso-restriction promoting a soothing effect that enhances patient acceptance.
While many hydrogels are not highly absorptive, Aquamed hydrogels can absorb 5X their weight in exudate. Borderless hydrogel dressings may require secondary dressings.
