To facilitate acute and chronic wound treatment, HARTMANN has developed a novel wound dressing that combines the benefits of conventional non-medicated tulle dressings with modern hydroactive technology. While the neutral ointment keeps the wound margins soft and supple, hydrocolloid particles, embedded in the ointment mass, create a moist wound environment to speed wound healing. Nevertheless Hydrotul is just as simple to use as a conventional tulle dressing and can be combined for the absorption of secretion with all common absorbent dressing pads.

The benefits and properties of Hydrotul
Hydrotul keeps wound margins soft and supple and thus preventing maceration.
Hydrotul has a large-volume honeycomb like structure for unimpaired secretion removal.
Hydrotul contains in its ointment mass hydrocolloid particles which absorb wound moisture and that way develop a healing-promoting environment.
Hydrotul can remain on the wound for several days to allow the wound to “rest” and accelerate the healing process.
Hydrotul does not stick to the wound and therefore enables an atraumatic dressing change.
Hydrotul has a broad range of indications. The impregnated dressing is suitable for the treatment of acute wounds as well as chronic wounds.
Hydrotul can be combined for the absorption of secretion with all common absorbent dressing pads.
Hydrotul is easy to handle, also from a very practical standpoint. The impregnated dressing won’t stick to examination gloves and can be readily cut to size using sterile scissors to fit the wound size and shape.
Hydrotul also ensures particularly economic wound management. The ointment impregnated dressing is a cost-efficient alternative to other hydroactive products and is time- and cost-saving due to prolonged dressing change intervals.
Another plus of the new impregnated dressing is its high level of acceptance among patients. In early application studies 85% of patients assessed Hydrotul as “very good” or “good” on tolerance, wearing comfort and overall impression
