Hydrogels

Hydrogels are water or glycerin-based amorphous gels, infused gauzes, and sheet dressings designed to help maintain a moist wound healing environment. They have a moisture content of 80-99% which although doesn't allow for much exudate absorption, it does provide the opportunity to rehydrate the wound/skin, promote granulation and epithelialization, and facilitate autolytic debridement for effective healing.
