Hydrofera Blue Classic is an advanced form of wound care dressing made from open celled polyurethane foam that has been impregnated with the antibacterial agents methylene blue and gentian violet. Hydrofera Blue Classic assists with bioburden management in wounds; it will absorb excess exudate as well as maintain the moist environment required for healing, and allow for safe autolytic debridement. Hydrofera Blue Classic is non-cytotoxic, therefore it is 100% safe and will not irritate or harm the surrounding skin or the tissue of a wound itself. Hydrofera Blue Classic has a high absorptive capacity and is effective against a variety of micro-organisms frequently identified in the presence of acute and chronic wounds; these include multiple strains of MRSA and VRE. Hydrofera Blue Classic is ideal for treatment of the following types of wounds: pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, burns, surgical incisions, and traumatic wounds.

  • Helps manage wound bioburden and bacterial load

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How does Hydrofera Blue work?

    The dressing works by killing bacteria, fungi, and viruses that can cause infections in wounds. It is also highly absorbent and maintains a moist wound environment that is optimal for healing.

  2. When to stop using Hydrofera Blue?

    Hydrofera Blue can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on the wound’s exudate level and clinical conditions. The dressing should be changed if it turns white. If it retains its color in contact with the wound, it may stay in place for the full 7 days.

  3. Can Hydrofera Blue be used with other dressings?

    Yes, this can be used with other dressings as needed.

  4. How often should this foam dressing be changed?

    The dressing should be changed as often as needed to maintain a moist wound environment and prevent infection. The frequency of dressing changes will depend on the severity and type of wound.

  5. Is Hydrofera Blue Classic Antibacterial Foam Dressing safe for all patients?

    Hydrofera Blue Classic Antibacterial Foam Dressing is generally safe for most patients, but it is always recommended to consult a healthcare professional before using any wound dressing to determine if it is appropriate for individual needs and health status.

  6. How should Hydrofera Blue Foam Dressing be stored?

    The dressing should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. It should be kept in its original packaging until ready to use.

    The product is fine, exactly what I expected and needed. But the order handling was shoddy. I paid for expedited delivery and it took a full week for the product to ship. I had to contact the company three times and was told that the shipping department was behind in posting information regarding orders. Not a pleasant experience.
