HydraLock Super Absorbent Dressing, 6 x 10 Inch

Dermarite HydraLock Super Absorbent Dressing, 6 x 10 Inch

The Dermarite HydraLock Super Absorbent Dressing is an advanced wound dressing designed for moderate to highly exudating wounds. It's ideal for individuals and caregivers managing draining wounds such as pressure injuries, leg ulcers, surgical wounds, and other conditions that produce significant fluid. At the heart of this dressing is a super absorbent core that rapidly locks away excess exudate to help keep the wound bed and surrounding skin protected.

This dressing works by drawing wound fluid into its highly absorbent core while a nonadherent contact layer keeps the dressing from sticking to the wound, allowing for gentle, pain-free dressing changes. A waterproof backing guards against liquid strike-through, keeping the external surface dry and reducing the risk of leaks onto clothing and bedding. By maintaining an ideal moist wound healing environment, it also supports natural autolytic debridement while helping to minimize maceration and preserve the integrity of the skin around the wound.

The 6 x 10 inch (15.2 x 25.4 cm) dressing features a 12 x 22 cm absorbent pad and is available in a Single unit or a convenient Box of 10 to suit your care needs and frequency of changes. Many wound care supplies like this may be FSA/HSA eligible, so check with your plan administrator. Please select your preferred option below to add this dressing to your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: It's designed for moderate to highly exudating wounds, including pressure injuries, venous and diabetic leg ulcers, surgical wounds, and other draining wounds that need reliable fluid management.

Q: Will the dressing stick to my wound?
A: No. The nonadherent contact layer is designed to prevent sticking to the wound bed, helping make dressing changes more comfortable and less painful.
