Veterinary Analysis of HYDROSORB GEL 15GR HARTMANN

Hartmann's Hydrosorb Gel 15g is a sterile hydrogel for veterinary clinical use, formulated for the specific treatment of dry chronic wounds, skin ulcers, and surgical lesions with low exudate. Its ability to maintain a physiologically compatible moist environment makes this product an indispensable therapeutic tool in small animal medicine. At CUCUVET, we especially recommend it for slow or compromised wound healing protocols.

Analytical Composition and Actives

• Purified water (≥ 60%): Vehicle base that guarantees controlled hydration.
• Hydroactive polymers (Carbomer and Glycerin)Responsible for the sustained moisturizing effect and ideal viscosity for topical application.
• Propylene glycol (≤ 10%): Hygroscopic compound that enhances moisture retention in the wound bed.
• physiological pH (~5.5): Compatible with animal skin, reduces risk of irritation.

It does not contain antibiotic or anesthetic agents, allowing its use in combination with other topical therapies under veterinary supervision.

Dosage and Correct Administration

Hydrosorb Gel should be applied directly to clean wounds , once or twice a day, according to clinical judgment and the degree of tissue dryness:

• Dogs and cats <10 kg: 1-2 ml per application.
• Medium dogs (10-25 kg): 2-4 ml per application.
• Large dogs >25 kg: up to 5 ml per application.
• Rabbits, ferrets, or other small mammals: 0.5-1 ml per application.

After application, cover with a secondary non-absorbent dressing. Change the dressing every 24–48 hours, or sooner if there are signs of saturation. Do not reuse the syringe once it has been used on a contaminated wound.

What type of wounds benefit most from Hydrosorb Gel?

Dry, necrotic or poorly exuding wounds, such as pressure ulcers, non-healing surgical wounds and dehydrated lacerations.

Can it be applied to scabbed wounds?

Yes. Hydrogel helps to soften necrotic scabs without trauma, promoting autolytic debridement.

Is it safe for puppies or senior animals?

Absolutely. It contains no toxic or irritating components, and is formulated for sensitive skin.

Can it be used in conjunction with compression bandages?

Yes, provided that non-absorbent secondary dressings are used that retain moisture without interfering with the gel.

It is not indicated for wounds with recent stitches. Treatment should be postponed until the secondary healing phase or in cases of tissue opening and drying.

How long does a 15g container last?

It can yield 4 to 8 applications on medium-sized wounds, depending on the size and depth of the injury.
