About Cosmopor
Cosmopor is HARTMANN's post-operative wound dressing brand — the adhesive dressing applied after surgery rather than one used on chronic wounds. It sits on the traditional side of a wound care segment in which HARTMANN says it leads the European market, and the company built a high-speed production line for Cosmopor in Poland as part of the capital spending it put into modern wound care in 2025.
