Duoderm Hydrocolloid Dressings 15 x 15cm (Extra Thin)

Duoderm Hydrocolloid Dressings 15 x 15cm (Extra Thin)

Duoderm Extra Thin hydrocolloid dressings provide a low-profile, conformable cover for superficial wounds and fragile skin. The thin hydrocolloid layer gels on contact with exudate to help maintain a moist wound environment while the flexible film backing supports comfortable wear on contoured areas.

Highlights

• Extra thin, low-profile design for discreet wear and easy layering under clothing or secondary dressings
• Hydrocolloid technology forms a cohesive gel to help maintain an optimal moist wound environment
• Semi-occlusive film helps protect from external contaminants while allowing moisture vapour transmission
• Conformable sheet adheres securely yet is gentle on removal; suitable for areas prone to friction or shear
• Borderless sheet can be cut to shape for smaller sites or difficult contours
• Transparent/low-opacity finish aids site inspection without immediate removal
• Single-use; individually wrapped

Common uses

• Superficial/partial-thickness wounds with low exudate
• Skin protection for fragile or at-risk areas (e.g., under medical devices, around ostomy sites per local protocol)
• Post-procedural cover, donor sites once hemostasis achieved
• As a primary dressing or protective secondary cover over compatible wound products
