Part of the HydroTherapy concept - simple & effective wound treatment
HydroTac® is a Hydro-Responsive Wound Dressing with AquaClear® Technology
HydroTac® provides a combination of absorption and moisture donation, which helps keep wounds in a balanced moist environment, optimising healing efficiency.1,2
Through a combination of AquaClear® Technology and dressing characteristics, HydroTac® donates moisture to the wound, cools, soothes and enhances the wound healing process.1,3
The absorbent polyurethane foam absorbs exudate and retains it under compression.4 Maceration, is therefore reduced.1
HydroTac® alleviates pain on removal, due to the AquaClear® Technology.1,5
