Cardinal Health Hydrocolloid Dressing

Hydrocolloid dressings consist of a wound contact layer of hydrocolloids and a semi-permeable, polyurethane film backing. Propriety gelling formulation allows for most of the gel to be removed together with the dressing, resulting in little or no damage to the newly formed tissue. Flexible, low-friction film backing reduces skin friction with clothing and patient bedding. Moisture-resistance will remain in place during showering. Type of dressing: Primary and secondary dressing. Change frequency: Up to 7 days. Over the counter indication: For minor scalds and burns, minor cuts, lacerations and minor abrasions. Indication: Used for the management of light to moderately exuding partial and full thickness wounds including: Pressure ulcers, donor sites, dermatological excisions, diabetic ulcers, second-degree burn, surgical wounds, leg ulcer, traumatic wounds. Contraindications: Third-degree burns or on individuals who are sensitive to or who have had an allergic reaction to the dressing or its components. Latex-free.
