Sustainable wound care with Hydrofiber® dressings
From forest to fibre
We know that maintaining healthy forests are one of the most effective ways to regulate carbon dioxide levels to help combat climate change.
But, did you know that every year, we manufacture tens of millions of Hydrofiber based wound dressings here in the UK?
All our Hydrofiber dressings are manufactured using fibres derived from sustainable wood pulp. In fact, over 99% of our wood comes from sustainable forestry (FSC approved). Plus, 99% of the solvent used in our dressings is resused. And all this is done using using 100% renewable electricity during the manufacturing process.

Hydrofiber® technology expertly balances a range of wound healing attributes
Fast gelling action
Hydrofiber® technology transforms into a cohesive gel to minimise pain at dressing changes
Low lateral wicking distance
Reducing lateral spread of fluid to help prevent and improve peri-wound skin maceration.
Effective vertical wicking
Vertical wicking/absorption transfers fluid away from the wound bed.
High absorbency and retention
Hydrofiber® technology allows for high exudate absorption and has shown fewer dressing changes are required.
High conformability
Transforms into a gel that micro-contours to the wound bed.
High strength
Designed with high tensile strength to be removed in one piece easily and eliminating pain.
Natural and soft composition
Made from 100% natural cellulose, biodegradable and sustainably sourced fibres.
Effective passive bioburden control
Immobilises bacteria when gelling helping minimise cross infection.
