English term or phrase: gelling foam dressing

Apparently the foam turns into gel in this dressing.

I am proofing a marketing booklet. The previous translator has translated this as "Gelierschaumverband". This just doesn't sound right to my German ears. It reminds me of cooking marmalade.

My suggestions would be either " Gelschaumverband" oder "Gelbildender Schaumverband".

I have found "Gelverband" and "Schaumverband" and "gelbildene Hydrofiber".

I would be grateful for your opinions on this. Thanks

Gelbildender Schaumverband

Explanation:
Das klingt für MEINE deutschen Ohren am Besten und trifft, meiner Meinung nach, auch am ehesten den Sinn.

(hydrozellulärer/hydroaktiver) Gelverband / Hydrogel

Explanation:
Irgendwie widerspricht sich das Gel mit dem Schaum. Da es sich allerdings so anhört, dass das "Endprodukt" geliert, würde ich eher den Ausdruck Gel als Schaum verwenden. Gel und Schaum in einem Ausdruck zusammen würde ich nicht verwenden.

Also, ich finde entweder nur Gelverband/Hydrogel oder Schaumverband, aber keinen Schaum der zu Gel wird.

Explanation:
Dies packt zwei Eigenschaften einer Wundauflage zusammen: Schaum, Gelbildung.

Am ehesten trifft das auf die "hydrocolloids" zu. (es sei denn dies ist eine komplett neue Entwicklung ...!?)
