Hidramed Solutions is an Ireland headquartered advanced wound management business that specialises in the development of innovative wound care solutions to improve the quality of life of people suffering with chronic wounds including those caused by Hidradenitis Suppurativa, an under-diagnosed and under-treated inflammatory condition affecting 1-4% of the global population with symptoms including highly exuding and long-lasting wounds.

HidraWear Wearable Wound Care Technology offers multiple benefits especially when compared to traditional adhesive and silicone adhesive-based solutions:

1. Prevention of Medical Adhesive Related Skin Injury (MARSI): Medical adhesives including silicone-based adhesives can cause allergic reactions and skin stripping especially with prolonged use or frequent changes. HidraWear’s proprietary SecureLock™ Technology helps prevent these risks.
2. Secure Fixation: HidraWear’s proprietary SecureLock™ Technology keeps dressings securely in position over the wound even in challenging to dress areas of the human body such as the axilla, breast, groin, and others, ensuring effective management of exudate, odour and bacteria and maximising the potential for healing.
3. Pain Free Removal: One of the common complaints with current wound dressing solutions is the pain and discomfort experienced during removal. With HidraWear, patients report significant reductions in pain levels and those who were taking pain medication prior to dressing change were able to stop such medication.
4. Improved Patient Quality Of Life: HidraWear has been clinically proven to rapidly deliver highly significantly improvements in quality of life for patients.
5. Empowering Patient Self-Care: HidraWear enables patients to change their own dressings leading to further improvements in their quality of life as well as reducing the significant economic burden on health care system and nursing staff.

A recently published clinical study using the technology demonstrated statistically significant improvements in pain at dressing change and quality of life and won the Gold Award for Clinical Research at the 2023 Journal of Wound Care Annual Awards.
