CUTINOVA Hydro is a unique, hydro-selective dressing that is the clear successor to hydrocolloids. It has been designed to offer all the benefits of a hydrocolloid with none of the drawbacks. Its special structure offers a unique mode of action, absorbing water from wound fluid, but leaving essential wound healing agents behind in the wound (reference - see clinical support).

Features: Waterproof and bacteria proof, Water vapour permeable, Highly absorbent, even under compression, Hydro-selective, Does not break down in the wound, Conformable, Semi-transparent, Self-adhesive.
