Paul Hartmann AG

Company Overview

Paul Hartmann AG is a leading international manufacturer of hygiene and medical products.

Its wound management portfolio includes traditional and advanced wound care products. Its AWC advanced dressings include foam, hydrocolloids, alginates, collagen, contact layers, and superabsorbent dressings. Proximel is the company’s leading brand for wound management.

The company’s proprietary Hydro-Responsive Wound Dressing (HRWD) combines its two wound care technologies, HydroClean and HydroTac. HydroClean advanced dressings provides both rinsing and absorption for wound bed preparation. HydroTac contains AquaClear gel technologies that promote a moist wound healing environment. HydroTac dressings also accelerate the concentration of growth factors and epithelialization for faster wound gealing.

In 2018, the company launched Proximel Ag, an addition to its Proximel line of silicone foam dressings. Proximel foam dressings feature a five-layer design to maximize exudate absorption, maintaining a moist healing environment and reducing pressure at the wound site.
