HidraWear

Credenhill (supplied by Daylong Direct)

Description

Wearable wound care. Wearable retention dressing system for self-management of moderate to high exuding wounds in difficult-to-dress areas, without the need for adhesives that can irritate and further damage the skin. Combines reusable garments with superabsorbent HidraWear dressings, which are secured in place by HidraHex hook and loop technology. Seams on the outside of the garment allow the soft, breathable fabric to conform to the skin to further reduce irritation and allow smooth and frictionless movement.

Indications

Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa and for the management of highly exuding wounds in the axilla, groin or buttocks

Contraindications

See patient leaflet
