What is Hydrotherapy?
HydroTherapy is an innovative approach to the treatment of majority of wounds including chronic and hard-to-heal wounds. There are only two steps from wound cleansing to wound closing, making HydroTherapy effective and simple – HydroClean® plus and HydroTac®.
The success of HydroTherapy is derived from two Hydro-Responsive Wound Dressings (HRWD®) which perfectly complement one another – each with its own unique mode of action, delivering rapid cleansing, early granulation tissue formation, epithelialisation while maintaining a balanced level of moisture at all phases of wound progression – to support effective wound healing. 1
Effective cleansing activates the wound so that granulation can start. Having an optimal moist wound environment protects and promotes sustained epithelialization.
