DETAILS
Material
Hydrocolloid dressing is a kind of elastic dressing made of pressure sensitive adhesive with CMC (carboxymethylcellulose) hydrophilic granules.
Main Mechanism
- Hydrocolloid dressing inflates on thewound edge when it absorbs exudates which can prevent exudates from leaking.
- Temperature on the wound area is almost same as the body temperature under the protection of hydrocolloid dressing.
- Pain can be reduced because nerve terminals are in moist environment.
- Generation of capillary vessel and growth of granulation tissue will be speeded up in anoxic environment.
Key Features
- Excellent exudates absorption capability.
- Keep the wound in a moist environment, promote wound healing, effectively release pains and reduce wound care frequency.
- Waterproof, protect the wound from microbial invasion.
- Excellent elasticith and self-adhesive, convenient and comfortable to wear.

- lf the depth of wound is more than 5mm, it is better to fill the wound with proper material before using hydrocolloid dressing.
- lt is not suitable for wounds with heavy exudates.

phenomenon. - The gel will be formed by the mixture of hydrocolloid molecule and exudates.As it looks like purulence secretion, it would be misunderstood as the wound infection. Just clean it with saline.
