HydroTac Foam Dressings

HydroTac is a line of hydrocellular foam wound dressings from Hartmann, built around a simple idea: a wound heals faster and more comfortably when its surface stays neither too wet nor too dry. These dressings pair an absorbent foam pad with a hydrogel-coated contact layer, so they manage exudate while keeping the wound bed moist — the balance clinicians look for when treating chronic and slow-healing wounds.

That combination makes HydroTac a common choice for pressure ulcers, venous and diabetic leg ulcers, skin tears, surgical wounds healing by secondary intention, and second-degree burns. The foam draws away excess drainage to protect the surrounding skin from maceration, while the hydroactive gel layer helps prevent the dressing from adhering to the wound and drying it out. The result is a dressing that supports moist wound healing without frequent, painful changes.
