About Zetuvit by HARTMANN GROUP
Founded in 1818 by industrial pioneer Ludwig von Hartmann, HARTMANN GROUP originally began as a textile spinning mill. With the help of his sons, this mill became the birthplace of the Paul Hartmann Bleaching, Dyeing and Dressing Company, which became a leading name in wound care and dressings over the next few decades.
Through the creation of clean and effective textile projects, HARTMANN GROUP made a name for itself in the healthcare industry. Actively seeking innovation in areas such as incontinence care, infection control, and wound care management, HARTMANN GROUP remains a leader in the modern medical industry today through the creation of
high-quality wound products like the Zetuvit dressing.
Designed to be an absorbent, multi-layered dressing pad, Zetuvit dressings are commonly used around the world to aid with wound healing. Capable of wicking away moisture and exudate from the open wound, Zetuvit plus dressings are a great choice for superficial infected wounds.
The Zetuvit Dressing Range
The Zetuvit range offers highly absorbent wound dressings designed to effectively manage moderate to high levels of exudate while maintaining patient comfort and protecting surrounding skin.
Zetuvit Wound Dressing
The standard Zetuvit is a soft, multi-layered wound dressing ideal for moderate to high exudate wounds. Its non-adherent wound contact surface reduces trauma and pain at dressing changes, making it suitable for regular use across a wide range of wound types including lacerations, abrasions, ulcers, and post-operative sites. It provides reliable fluid management while protecting surrounding skin from maceration.
Zetuvit Plus
Zetuvit Plus is a superabsorbent dressing engineered for wounds with high exudate levels. Its enhanced absorption capacity rapidly draws fluid away from the wound surface, helping prevent skin breakdown and maintaining a clean wound environment. It is particularly suitable for chronic wounds such as venous leg ulcers and heavily exuding surgical wounds.
Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border
Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border features a gentle silicone adhesive that secures the dressing without causing trauma on removal. It is ideal for patients with fragile or sensitive skin, allowing repositioning for accurate placement while improving patient comfort during dressing changes.

Clinical Use and Application
Follow this structured protocol for effective wound management:
Step 1: Prepare the Wound
Clean the wound using saline or an appropriate cleanser. Ensure the surrounding skin is dry and assess exudate level and wound size.
Step 2: Select and Apply the Dressing
Choose a dressing that extends 2–3 cm beyond the wound edges. Secure non-adhesive variants with appropriate fixation. For silicone border dressings, apply directly and smooth edges into place.
Step 3: Monitor and Change
Change the dressing every 1 to 3 days or when saturated. Reassess wound condition at each change and adjust treatment accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Find answers to common questions about Zetuvit dressings, including clinical use, highly absorbent properties, and suitability for use across healthcare and home care settings.
What is Zetuvit, and what makes it special?
Zetuvit® is a highly absorbent dressing pad designed to manage wound exudate efficiently.
Its multi-layer structure includes a soft non-woven cover, a capillary diffusion layer, and a central core made from bleached cellulose “fluff” that wicks and retains fluid.
The backing layer is water-repellent yet breathable, which helps prevent “strike-through” while allowing air exchange.
What are the different types of Zetuvit dressings?
There are several types of Zetuvit dressings to suit different wound needs:
- Zetuvit non-sterile — an absorbent single-use pad made of cellulose fluff covered in nonwoven, used for fluid absorption and cushioning.
- Zetuvit sterile — same composition as non-sterile, but individually sealed for clinical environments.
- Zetuvit Plus — a super-absorbent version with added SAP (super-absorbent polymer) for high exudate retention.
- Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border — includes a soft silicone contact layer for gentler removal.
When should I use Zetuvit Plus over standard Zetuvit?
Zetuvit Plus is recommended for heavily exuding wounds due to its high fluid-handling capacity.
The SAP (super-absorbent polymer) locks in exudate as a gel, reducing maceration risk.
Its efficiency can reduce dressing change frequency, lowering discomfort and overall cost.
Can Zetuvit dressings be used under compression therapy?
Yes — dressings like Zetuvit Plus are suitable under compression therapy.
The super-absorbent core handles high exudate even under pressure without leaking.
Ensure proper securing and monitor saturation levels as advised by a clinician.
Are Zetuvit dressings painful to remove?
Zetuvit dressings are designed to minimize trauma during removal:
- They have a soft non-woven contact layer that reduces sticking to the wound bed.
- The Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border version uses a silicone layer for more gentle, atraumatic removal.
Comfort may vary based on wear time, saturation, and wound condition.
What types of wounds is Zetuvit suitable for?
Zetuvit dressings are ideal for moderate to heavily exuding wounds including venous and arterial leg ulcers, postoperative surgical wounds, traumatic lacerations, abrasions, and pressure injuries.
The Zetuvit Plus variant is particularly suited to chronic high-exudate wounds where advanced fluid management is required.
Can Zetuvit be used as a primary dressing?
Yes. Zetuvit can be applied directly over the wound as a primary dressing.
It may also be used as a secondary dressing over a wound contact layer to enhance exudate management and maintain an optimal moisture balance.
Does Zetuvit adhere to the wound bed?
No. Zetuvit dressings are non-adherent and designed to minimise trauma and discomfort during dressing changes.
For patients with fragile or sensitive skin, the Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border provides even gentler, atraumatic removal.
What sizes does Zetuvit come in?
Zetuvit dressings are available in a wide range of sizes to suit different wound types and anatomical locations.
