A hydrogel dressing is used on a wound to maintain a moist healing environment, which can promote faster tissue repair and reduce pain. It helps in rehydrating dry or necrotic tissue, aiding in autolytic debridement, and providing a cooling effect that can soothe the wound area. Additionally, hydrogel dressings can be used to absorb wound exudate while preventing the wound from drying out.
