REPLACES BANDAGES FOR WOUND CARE
Until recently the usual care for many different types of wounds has been a bandage of gauze and/or medication applied with adhesive tape. For wounds that require constant attention and many bandage changes this method is time consuming and uncomfortable for the patient during removal. Our new Wound Accessing Technology devices not only save significant labor costs by reduced application time, but also improves patient comfort due to the reduced number of bandage removals. .

WOUND ACCESSING TECHNOLOGY FEATURES
This technology is incorporated in our products via a reclosable lid or top that allows a user to view, clean, medicate, and re-dress a wound without removing the products from the patient. They are applied to the skin via a variety of medical grade adhesives, including pressure sensitive and hydrocolloid adhesive. The hydrocolloid adhesive circumscribes the wound site to suppress microbial and bacterial build-up and provide environment protection.

All the wound accessing technology devices are manufactured under the trademark names of "Hathback" and "Reclosable Wound Dressing Protector" and are referred to as "Protectors."

The Protector will permit and facilitate quick application and re-applications, and reduce the time required to dress moderate, acute and chronic wounds, in addition to viewing and treating the wound without removing the device.

Lastly, the Protector is manufactured without a permanently attached gauze and/or ointment, so it can be used with a wide selection of dressings and healing agents of which there are currently over 400 types in the United States alone. HMP products can be purchased with many of the current advances in wound care ointments and wound healing agents. For more information click here.
