The sterile hydrogel dressing is applied as a cooling and alleviative barrier to protect skin following laser ablation, aesthetic medical procedures, plastic surgery and phlebology. It also supports the healing of injured tissue. The dressing may be used during non-ablative laser procedures, as an elastic and transparent contact layer which cools and protects the epidermis from thermal injures, thus improving the quality of the procedure and the patient’s level of comfort. The dressing is also is useful as a coupling agent for ultrasound applications in cases of breached dermis or open wounds, or when a sterile and transparent hydrogel cushion is necessary to improve visibility of surface structures.
