Moist Wound Care in Veterinary Medicine

In veterinary medicine, there is often a lack of suitable treatments for chronic wounds that struggle to heal. To support wound healing and promote tissue regeneration, moist wound care is increasingly used for animals with persistent wounds. Veterinarians frequently rely on moist wound dressings when treating horses, dogs, and other animals. For wound preparation or cleaning, they may additionally use suitable compresses.

Structure of a Hydrogel Dressing

Our hydrogel dressings are available in square and rectangular shapes, consisting of a polyurethane film that is semipermeable, yet waterproof and germ-resistant. The dressing features a thick, adhesive gel layer that securely absorbs wound exudates while keeping the wound continuously moist. This also helps eliminate unpleasant odors.

The impermeable, transparent surface prevents pathogens from entering the wound, effectively protecting it from dangerous secondary infections. The gel’s high water content facilitates the rapid removal of scabs and dry necrotic tissue, promoting both epithelialization and granulation. The wound edges remain supple, ensuring a painless dressing change. Additionally, newly formed tissue is not irritated during the removal of compresses. Thanks to its transparent surface, veterinarians can easily assess the wound’s healing progress without needing to remove the dressing or rinse the wound, allowing for quick and efficient monitoring. To secure the dressing in place, appropriate gauze and fixation bandages may be used. Protective measures such as collars or protective shoes can help prevent animals from interfering with the wound. For added cushioning, padding bandages may be applied underneath.
