What is Hyalo4 High Gelling Fibre/Rope indicated for?
For management of the following moderately to heavily exuding acute and chronic wounds:
Pressure Ulcers
Venous and arterial leg ulcers
Diabetic Ulcers
Graft and donor sites
Post operative surgical wounds
Wounds left to heal by secondary intent (e.g. cavity wounds)
Lacerations

Hyalo4 High Gelling Fibre/Rope advantages
The dressing is a highly absorbent and non-woven dressing which turns into a soft, cohesive sheet of gel when in contact with wound exudate. It therefore helps with autolytic debridement and effectively addresses the key challenges of improved exudate management and wound healing.
Frequency of change
The dressing may remain in situ for up to 7 days. Dressing change frequency will depend on patient condition and level of exudate. Reapply the dressing when the secondary dressing has reached its absorbent capacity or whenever good wound care practice dictates that the dressing should be changed.
