The hydrocolloids transform into a gel when in contact with wound exudate and form a moist environment which has a stimulating effect on granulation and epithelialization.
Hydrocoll is a sterile, self adhesive absorbent hydrocolloid wound dressing. - Half the thickness of traditional hydrocolloids with high capacity absorbency - Clarity allows for wound inspection - Plasticiser free, reducing the risk of allergic reaction - Forms a soft gel when in contact with wound exudate
Thin, flexible and conformable - Low profile, smouth surface, resists roll-off - Can remain on the wound for 4-5 days - MVTR Hydrocoll: 400g/ sqm / 24hrs - MVTR Hydrocoll Thin: 600g/ sqm / 24hrs Hydrocoll may be used on: - Necrotic wounds - lower leg ulcers - pressure ulcers - superficial and partial thickness burns - post operative wounds - granulating wounds Hydrocoll Thin is useful for managing wounds during epithelialisation.
Contraindications: - wounds with high exudate - infected wounds - not for use over bone or tendon - full thickness burns
