What Is Hydrogel?
Hydrogel is a general term used to describe solids that absorb water, swelling as a result and forming a non-flowable gel. Polymers, such as agar, jelly, and konjac are good examples. Silicone hydrogel is quite a common and popular form of hydrogel because it displays high oxygen permeability even though it has a low water content.
A hydrogel can be chemically created by combining a chemical and an ultra violet cross-linked interface. Alternatively, you can mix water and a polymer and expose it to an electron beam to create a “sheet” of water.
The composition of hydrogels is similar to biological soft tissue; therefore, hydrogels have been used as medical materials such as tissue engineering, wound dressings, and drug delivery systems. It can be used as artificial intervertebral discs, artificial cartilage, and more. However, hydrogel can be used for many other purposes, including a natural thickener, food packaging, etc.
Why Work With R&D Medical Products?
From medical hydrogel for wound care to cosmetic gels and conductive hydrogel products, our California-based team can be both your production team and your consultants.

We offer the following types of hydrogels that can be used for a wide range of reasons:
Skin Surface Mount Gels
When comfortable, durable hydrogels are applied directly to the skin, they can provide a range of benefits including increased long term adhesion and wear, and can be used for a range of cosmetic and commercial applications. Skin surface applications generally include defibrillation electrodes, transdermal drug delivery, ECG signaling, wearables, and more.
Cosmetic Gels
Our bioadhesive gels increase residence time on the skin and reduce product administration frequency. Our products can be used for a wide range of cosmetic skin care applications and leave no residue.
Wound Care Gels
Our state-of-the-art gels are designed to maximize protection of the wound from infection. Our products come with a long shelf life and are repositionable and reusable, leading to maximum protection and price efficiency. A hydrogel wound dressing has proven to be far more effective than anything else on the market for protecting the human body. Our wound care gels are ideal for wound healing, burn care treatments, transdermal patches, scar reduction, and trauma bandages.
Skin Care Gels
Hydrogels are far more efficient for skin care than most products. As the world’s leading hydrogel company, we produce products that are perfectly tailored for the skin. Comfortable, durable, and highly effective, they will help you achieve maximum results. These skin care gels can be used in acne treatments, wrinkle reduction products, moisturizing face masks, and more.
Conductive Hydrogels
Hydrogels allow for improved communication between synthetic and biological systems, leading to better efficiency in the performance of an electrode’s medical duties. R&D Medical Products is an FDA-registered company and strives to continually improve the delivery of medical services using highly conductive gels with the perfect mix of performance and comfort.
