Medstock Hydrogel is an amorphous, clear gel with excellent adhesion and absorption capabilities. It contains propylene glycol which helps attract and lock in moisture to drier wound environments whilst absorbing excessive exudates. This assists in facilitating gentle autolytic debridement of devitalised tissue which promotes early epithelialisation and reduces wound healing time.
