Hydrogel wound dressings are devices combining hydrogel and alginate components that soften and hydrate wounds whilst creating a moist healing environment to facilitate autolytic debridement and enhance absorption. These dressings are used for management of pressure ulcers, minor burns, abrasions, cuts, stasis ulcers and superficial wounds, as well as for symptomatic relief of skin irritations including cracked or painful nipples.
