DuoDERM Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing, 15 x 15 cm
A very thin, flexible hydrocolloid dressing designed for dry to low-exuding wounds. The hydrocolloid layer forms a gel on contact with wound exudate to maintain a moist environment that supports natural healing. An outer polyurethane film acts as a barrier to bacteria, external contaminants, and water. The conformable profile allows comfortable wear over skin folds and joints and adheres to the periwound skin rather than the wound bed to facilitate gentle removal.
Key features
- Moist wound healing: hydrocolloid matrix gels on contact with exudate to help maintain optimal moisture.
- Protective outer layer: flexible polyurethane top film provides a barrier to bacteria, contaminants, and water.
- Ultra-thin and conformable: contours to body curves and joints for comfort during movement.
- Atraumatic removal: adheres to surrounding skin, minimizing disruption of newly formed tissue.
Intended uses
- Surgical incisions and post-procedural wounds.
- Superficial pressure ulcers in early stages.
- Minor cuts, abrasions, and superficial traumatic wounds.
- Chronic wounds that require moisture balance in the dry to low-exudate range.
Directions for use
- Cleanse the wound and thoroughly dry the surrounding skin.
- Remove the release liner and apply, ensuring full coverage with an adequate margin on intact skin.
- Gently press the edges to secure an occlusive seal.
- Change the dressing when saturated with exudate or if adhesion decreases.
