Structure
Hydrocolloid dressing is a kind of elastic dressing made of medical
hot-melt adhesive with CMC (carboxymethylcellulose) hydrophilic
granules.
Specification
Properties
1.The semi-permeable matte polyurethane or polyurethane foam to
enhance the absorbency. Film thickness:0.025 to 0.035mm.
2.When the thickness of hydrocolloid dressing is 0.4mm, the
properties is as below:
Moisture permeability: 0.34g/10cm2/24h/37℃
1.06g/10cm2/72h/37℃
Hygroscopic ability: 2.4g/10cm2/24h/37℃
2.46g/10cm2/72h/37℃
Hygroscopic capacity: 2.74g/10cm2/24h/37℃
3.52g/10cm2/72h/37℃
(ONLY FOR REFERENCE)
3.Hygroscopic capacity:2.83g/24h/37℃
3.23g/72h/37℃
(ONLY FOR REFERENCE)
4.PH5.7 Acid&Alkali resistance PH3 to PH12.5.
5.Hygroscopic capacity and hygroscopic capability can b adjusted
according to need.
Features
1.Excellent exudates absorption capability.
2. Keep the wound in a moist enviroment, promote wound healing,
effectively release pains and reduce change frequency of wound care
dressing.
3.Waterproof, breathable, protect the wound from microbial
invasion.
4.Excellent elasticith and self-adhesive,comfortable and convenient
to use.
5.Change the dressing when it turns white.
6.Easy to peel off, no adherence to wound,effectivly reduce the
potential damage and pains.
7.Available in different sizes and shapes to meet the clinical
needs.
Application
For slight or moderate exudating wounds.
1.Leg ulcer.
2.Ⅰ-Ⅱ degree bdsores.
3.Superficial and burn wound.
4.Post-operation wound.
5.Skin-donor sites.
6.All kinds of superficial wound and cosmetic wound.
7.For granulation and epithelialisation process of chronic wound.
Notice
1.Make sure the wound area is clean and dry before using the
dressing.
2.Hydrocolloid dressing should b 2cm bigger than the wound area to
make sure that dressing can cover the wound.
3.If the depth of wound is more than 5mm, it is better to fill the
wound with proper material before using the dressing.
4.It is not suitable for wounds with heavy exudates.
5.When the dressing becomes white and swelling, it indicates that
dressing should be changed.
6.At the very beginning of the using the dressing, wound area may
be enlarged, this is caused by the debridement function of the
dressing and it is normal phenomenon.
7.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 injection. Just clean it with saline.
8.There maybe some smell from the dressing sometimes, and this
smell disappear after cleaning the wound with saline water.
9.Dressing should be changed at once leakage occured around the
dressing.
