bpositive Wound Healing Hydrocolloid Dressing

Description

Scientifically Advanced Healing Hydrocolloid Dressing

This Scientifically Advanced Healing Hydrocolloid Dressing contains carboxy-methylcellulose (CMC) which absorbs wound fluid and forms a gel to provide an optimal condition for wound healing. It is a top film that is bacteria-proof and waterproof.

Intended Use

The intended purpose of our dressing is to provide an optimal condition for wound healing and create a barrier to protect wounds from bacterial and pathogens. Designed for dry to low exuding wounds. This is not intended to be a primary dressing used on chronic wounds for wounds involving the dermis.

How to use

Application of dressing

1. Wash hands before applying the dressing.

2. Clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin gently. Ensure no cream, ointment or similar product is on the skin.

3. Remove dressing from pouch.

4. Apply the dressing so that the sticky side sits directly over the wound.

When the product absorbs wound exudate, a white gel is formed and the appearance of the product will become white. The product should be changed when clinically indicated, when visible signs of exudate approach the edge of the product or after 7 days

Removing the dressing:

5. Gently lift the corners of the product and remove it from the wound. Soaking the dressing with saline water where the wound is in contact can assist with removal.
