Hartmann Hydrosorb Gel
Hartmann Hydrosorb Gel is a colorless hydrogel with an electrolytic composition and high viscosity. It provides a balanced moist wound environment, softening dry tissue and scabs. Applied in a thick layer and covered with a secondary dressing, this gel facilitates the detachment of dead tissue and coatings. The amorphous hydrogel accelerates wound healing and can be easily rinsed out without causing skin irritation or damaging newly formed tissue.

Hydrosorb Gel contains Ringer's solution, glycerol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and carboxymethyl cellulose. It provides a moist wound environment, softens dry necrotic tissue, facilitates the removal of devitalized tissue, and absorbs wound debris and exudate.
Recommended Use
The syringe presentation enables direct application into the wound for safe, clean dosing. This clear, viscous, sterile gel is used for treating dry chronic wounds. Hydrosorb Gel can be left on a wound for up to 3 days and requires a suitable secondary dressing to prevent drying out.
