HydroTac

Designed to speed up epithelialization - 13% of wounds completely healed after 8 weeks ^[12]

HydroTac® with AquaClear™ Gel-Technology is designed to promote growth factor concentration, boosting epithelial wound closure and accelerating the healing process.

Through a combination of AquaClear™ Gel-Technology and dressing characteristics, HydroTac® donates moisture to the wound, cools, soothes and enhances the wound healing process.^7,9

The absorbent polyurethane foam absorbs exudate and retains it under compression.¹⁰ Maceration, is therefore reduced.⁷

HydroTac® alleviates pain on removal, due to the AquaClear® Technology.^7,11

Growth Factors within exudate play an important role in wound healing but are often absorbed into foam dressings, preventing their healing action.²

HydroTac^® promotes effective moisture balance whilst at the same time concentrating growth factors that help to promote re-epithialisation.

AquaClear™ Gel-Technology promotes faster wound healing. 44.5 % of patients experienced a relative wound area reduction of over 60 % in just 8 weeks”.¹²

Short Case Study

52 year old patient with a venous leg ulcer

Patient was treated with HydroTac^®.

Every 3 to 4 days the woundwas reassessed.The wound healed

after 22 days of treatment which resulted inthe patient becoming pain free and the skin condition returning to normal.³

Mr Dudley, HydroTac patient

"From needing a wheelchair all the time, I can now walk and do all the stuff I used to do years ago. Its been a life changer."
