Duoderm Extra Thin Spots 1.75” x 1.5” / 4.4cm x 3.8cm x10 For Discount

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.
