CUTINOVA^◊ Hydro is a HYDRO-SELECTIVE^◊, self adhesive sterile wound dressing consisting of two layers - a polyurethane gel matrix and a polyurethane top-film which is waterproof and acts as a bacterial barrier. 

CUTINOVA^◊ Hydro offers the following benefits:

Semi transparency allows observation of the underlying wound, without the need for unnecessary dressing changes or disturbance of the wound¹.

Waterproof and bacterial barrier

'Super absorbent particles' within the polyurethane gel matrix lock in excess wound fluid, even under compression³

Locked in wound fluid reduces the risk of maceration¹, and incidence of leakage
Does not break down into a gel - a common source of odor from wounds managed with hydrocolloids^3,5

CUTINOVA^◊ Hydro selectively absorbs mainly water from wound exudate, but leaves the patient's own growth factors and proteins in the wound⁶. Growth factors and other natural proteins are known to be essential agents in wound healing⁷
