Hidrawear
Adhesive-free dressing retention system for wounds in hard-to-dress anatomical areas
HidraWear is engineered for use in patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and other wounds located in regions difficult to dress (e.g. axilla, groin, buttocks). It utilises a non-adhesive base layer with an external fastening mechanism to hold dressings securely, eliminating the need for skin adhesives and reducing trauma and discomfort during dressing changes.¹
Product Benefits
Made specifically for managing Hidradenitis Suppurativa flares and difficult-to-dress wounds, HidraWear removes the need for the dressings to be adhesively attached to the skin with tape while still holding the dressing in position. This leads to quicker, less painful dressing changes, no leakage and more freedom to move.
Discreet, breathable base layer
Patented dressing and external fastener combination
Locked in protection from leakage
