Duoderm Extra Thin Dressing 10cm x 10cm x 10

Duoderm Extra Thin 10cm x 10cm Hydrocolloid Dressing DuoDerm Extra Thin dressing is a hydrocolloid dressing indicated for the management of lightly exuding wounds. It combines a unique ConvaTec hydrocolloid formulation that distinguishes it from other hydrocolloid dressings and a vapour-permeable outer film to provide an occlusive moist environment. Protection: • A thin polyurethane film provides a bacterial and viral barrier when the dressing remains intact and without leakage. • The film provides a waterproof barrier over the dressing. • The dressing can be removed without damaging ly formed tissue. • It is designed to reduce the risk of further skin breakdown due to friction by preventing contact with clothes/bed linen. • It can be used on the body as a primary or secondary dressing. • It can be used on skin tears and superficial wounds, dry to lightly exuding wounds, ly-formed tissue or skin at risk of further breakdown. Ease of Application: • The translucent backing enhances dressing placement and initial monitoring of the wound. • The dressings are easy to use, mold and can be cut to shape to dress awkward areas. • Wash your hands, cleanse and rinse the wound and then dry the surrounding skin. • Measure the wound to select the appropriate dressing size, allowing a 3.0cm (1½ -inch) overlap on intact skin around the whole wound. • Warm the dressing between your hands. • Remove the top white release paper, being careful to minimize finger contact with the adhesive surface. • Hold the adhesive side of the dressing over the wound. • Align the dressing with the center of the wound. • Gently apply the center part of the dressing. • Remove the bottom white release paper while rolling the dressing in place - but don't stretch it. • Repeat the above procedure on the other side and remove the clear release paper • Gently mold the dressing into place for 30-60 seconds. • Gently lift one corner of the dressing. • Roll it away from the wound while holding the skin away. • Gently lift the other corners and pull upwards until the dressing completely peels off. • The use of DuoDerm Extra Thin neither guarantees nor warranties against HIV transmission
