Hydrocolloid Dressing 10cm x 10cm

Medstock Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing is an effective solution for managing wounds with nil to low exudate. Its elastic, pressure-sensitive adhesive design makes it suitable for use on most body parts. Embedded hydrophilic carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) granules help to maintain a moist environment that promotes wound healing.

Key Functions and Features

• Swells in the presence of exudate, forming a gel which maintains a moist wound healing environment
• Waterproof barrier protects wound from microbial invasion
• May reduce pain by keeping exposed nerve endings moist
• Facilitates autolytic debridement of wound
• Excellent elasticity which provides comfort and flexibility, even over highly mobile areas like joints
• Gentle on removal, protecting newly formed tissue

Indications for Use

• Suitable for wounds with nil to low exudate
• Preventative management and treatment of stage I and II pressure injuries
• Abrasions and grazes
• Small, superficial to partial thickness burns
• Shallow ulcers where low exudate exists
• Skin grafts, donor sites and surgical wounds
• Suitable for necrotic wounds to rehydrate and facilitate debridement

Contraindications / Precautions

• Do not use on infected wounds or full thickness burns
• Do not use if known allergy to hydrocolloid dressings
