    Relative to alginate dressings, hydrofiber dressings demonstrate less lateral wicking and subsequently less maceration of intact periwound skin. 10 Both alginate and hydrofiber dressings can produce a fibrinous residue that is visible on the wound bed surface at dressing changes; this should be gently rinsed away.

    What is gelling fiber?
    We have used the term gelling fiber for dressings manufactured using alginates or chitosan or carboxymethyl-cellulose (CMC), also known as hydrofibers. These products are similar in their actions and primarily absorb wound exudate by forming a gel when they come into contact with fluid.

    What is the difference between hydrofiber and alginate dressings?
    Composition: Hydrofiber dressings are made from sodium carboxymethylcellulose, while alginate dressings are derived from seaweed (calcium alginate). Both dressings are highly absorbent and can form a gel when in contact with wound exudate. Absorption Capacity: Alginate dressings have a higher absorption capacity than hydrofiber dressings.

    Do hydrofiber dressings need a secondary dressing?
    Hydrofiber dressings are nonadherent and require secondary dressings to keep them in place. Hydrofiber dressings are used in the management of wounds with moderate to excessive exudate. They can be kept in place until the dressing is saturated (Dabiri et al., 2016).

    Can hydrofiber dressings be used on dry wounds?
    Hydrofiber dressings are used in the management of wounds with moderate to excessive exudate. They can be kept in place until the dressing is saturated (Dabiri et al., 2016). Hydrofiber dressings should not be used on dry wounds as they can produce a fibrinous residue on the wound bed surface.

    What is a hydrofiber dressing?
    Hydrofiber dressings are composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a highly absorbent material that forms a gel when it comes into contact with wound exudate. This gel creates a moist wound environment, which is conducive to the healing process by promoting autolytic debridement and facilitating granulation tissue formation.
