Description

The world’s first and only hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)-specific dressing retention system, intended for use by people with wounds in difficult-to-dress areas of the body, such as the armpit, buttocks and groin. The system is made up of two parts: HidraWear reusable baselayers, which act as a dressing retention aid and HidraWear dressings with SecureLock Technology, which are soft & super absorbent, locking in large amounts of wound exudate. The system removes the need for the dressings to be adhesively attached to the skin leading to quicker, less painful dressing changes, no leakage and more freedom to move.

Indications

Dressing retention system suitable for wounds in the following locations: axilla, buttock, groin, inner thigh. HidraWear foam dressings are indicated for wounds with low to moderate levels of exudate. HidraWear superabsorbent dressings are indicated for wounds with moderate to high levels of exudate.

Contraindications

Refer to patient leaflet
