Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing International Trade Sterile Dressing for Wound Care Remove Scar

Hydrocolloid Foam Dressing is a conformable, sterile, self-adhesive wound dressing composed of a hydrocolloid layer and a thin polyurethane foam backing material. The hydrocolloid layer is made from a polyisobutylene matrix containing a natural, highly absorptive carbohydrate polymer. Hydrocolloid foam dressing absorbs exudate from the wound and is permeable to both oxygen and water vapour but impermeable to bacteria. The absorption process is characterized by swelling of the hydrocolloid layer in contact with wound exudates, through formation of a highly cohesive gel providing moist conditions conducive to natural healing. The gel formed is non adherent to the wound so that newly formed tissue is not traumatised when hydrocolloid foam is changed or removed.

Composition: Psyllium Husk, carboxymethylcellulose, polyisobutylene, polyurethane foam backing.

Features: 

• High absorption level
• Optimum Peel strength
• Minimal adhesive flow
• Provide an optimal healing environment
• For minimal to moderate exudate

Advantages:

• Can be used to control skin ulcer ,leg ulcer and pressure sores;

• Light abrasion wounds;

• Second degree burn wounds;

• Necrotic wound;

• The bordered and standard products are mainly used on light medium exuding pressure sores and leg ulcers;

• The thin products are mainly used on dry to light exuding superfacial wounds, surgical post operative wounds and abrasions. 

• It is also used on small wounds towards the end of healing phase.

Contraindications/safety information: 

• Hydrocolloid foam dressings are not good for very dry or necrotic wounds, and not suitable for the following cases:

• Ulcers caused by chronic infections (deep fungal infections, tuberculosis, syphilis...)

• Arteriopathy stage IV

• Bite and 3 degree burns

•  Uncontrolled bleeding wounds

  Wounds showing clinical signs of infection (temperature, pus, inflammation signs) should be treated under medical control before use of hydrocolloid foam dressing can be resumed. Please do not use if the packaging is damaged or opened.
