Research & Development of Hydrogel Dressings

Numerous researches have found that moist-based wound care is generally preferable to dry wound care, in that the former promotes a more proper environment for faster skin cell growth and thus, skin regeneration. Based on this, hydrogel dressings are extensively studied and used in biomedicine, promising to replace conventional dressings such as natural or synthetic cotton, lint, and gauze bandages. Specifically, hydrogel dressings consist of about 90% water suspended in a gel base that is made up of insoluble hydrophilic polymers and swells up on contact with water. Hydrogel dressings are commonly clear or translucent and vary in size and thickness, which gives many benefits to the wound site.

Alfa Chemistry is at the forefront of the research and development of hydrogel dressings. Equipped with advanced facilities and cutting-edge technology, we are capable of conducting groundbreaking research on hydrogel dressings. We look forward to cooperating with you!

Types of Hydrogel Dressings

There are three general types of hydrogel dressings:

Advantages of Hydrogel Dressings

• Hydrogel dressings keep the wound warm, moist, and close, and do not react with or irritate tissue.
• Hydrogel dressings promote wound re-epithelialization as they partially mimic skin structure and promote the growth of skin components.
• Hydrogel dressings are 90% water-based and give a comfortable soothing effect on the wound, which is very essential for severe wounds.
• Hydrogel dressings have a high moisture content that helps inhibit bacteria and oxygen from reaching the wound, so bacterial infestation can be minimized.
• When hydrogel dressings are applied to dry, sloughing, and necrotic wounds, they can make and keep them clean by promoting the removal of infected or necrotic tissue via autolysis.
• Hydrogel dressings do not adhere to wounds or tissues and minimize the pain caused by removal. In addition, since hydrogel dressings vary in sizes, it is easier to find one that is suitable to the wound site size.
