What is Amorphous Hydrogel?
Today’s advanced wound care systems include an array of amorphous hydrogel products. Treatment with amorphous hydrogel is gaining wide acceptance in the medical community as an effective wound care treatment for exuding wounds. This type of wound care treatment creates an ideal healing environment and can significantly speed healing of even persistent wounds. Amorphous hydrogel is a topical application for exuding (weeping/oozing) wounds. There are two major advantages to using an amorphous hydrogel for wound care: 1) Ease of treatment of deeper or uneven wounds: Lacerations and scrapes can be particularly difficult to treat. These wounds are often uneven: borders can be irregular, and the wound as a whole may be deeper and more jagged in some spots, shallower and smoother in others. A topical dressing alone may not sufficiently or evenly reach all portions of the wound. Amorphous hydrogel is a gel solution that is applied directly to the wound. The gel has the ability to seep down int
