The advantages of a moist wound-healing environment include improved healing rate, increased epithelialization, reduced infection, enhanced collagen synthesis, and the earlier appearance of more macrophages in the wound bed. DuoDERM Dressings were the first dressings to incorporate hydrocolloid technology.
Duoderm Dressings are modern hydrocolloid dressings for the management of light to moderately exuding wounds. DuoDERM Dressings are versatile, easy to use and are suitable for managing different stages of wound healing and multiple wound types in a protocol of care.
How do DuoDERM Dressings support gentle wound management?
On contact with a moist wound surface, DuoDERM Dressings form a gel that creates a moist wound healing environment:
*Outer film provides a waterproof barrier over the dressing
*Foam layer is designed to provide both thermal and mechanical protection
*Honeycomb matrix of hydrocolloid particles absorbs exudate to form a soft, moist gel
*Keeps nerve endings moist, which helps provide relief from discomfort
*DuoDERM Dressings can be worn continuously for up to seven days.
DuoDERM Signal Dressing
OPTIMIZED DRESSING USE-Exudate reaching the green line indicates when dressing needs changing, reducing premature dressing changes
Thin, smooth low-friction backing designed to reduce shearing that can prematurely dislodge the dressing
PROTECTION
*Thin polyurethane film provides a bacterial1and viral barriera
*Film provides a waterproof barrier over the dressing
*Easy to apply and can be removed without damaging newly formed tissue
*The tapered edge prevents rucking on bed clothes or bedding
EASE OF APPLICATION
*Translucent backing enhances dressing placement and initial monitoring of the wound
*The tapered edge contours to difficult areas
*Areas subject to friction force, including the heels, buttocks, sacrum, elbows, and trochanters, are likely to develop wounds (or breakdown around wounds)
*DuoDERM Signal comes in various shapes designed to be placed in these difficult to dress areas.
DuoDERM Extra Thin Dressing
PROTECTION
*Thin polyurethane film provides a bacterial and viral barriera.
*Film provides a waterproof barrier over the dressing
*Can be removed without damaging newly formed tissue
*Designed to reduce the risk of further skin breakdown due to friction by preventing contact with clothes/bed linen
EASE OF APPLICATION
*Translucent backing enhances dressing placement and initial monitoring of the wound
*Secures dressings in awkward and difficult to dress areas
*May be cut to fit
DuoDERM CGF Dressing
HEALING
-
*Promotes granulation and facilitates autolytic debridement
*Autolytic debridement removes necrotic tissue as quickly as enzymatic debridement
*Evidence-based action plans for hydrating dry wounds include creation of a moist wound environment to prevent wound drying and to allow autolytic debridement to occur
EASE OF USE-DuoDERM Dressings can be worn for up to seven days, are highly conformable and can be easily and gently molded into place
DuoDERM® Hydroactive® Sterile Gel
*Facilitates autolytic debridement
*Moisturizes, bringing needed moisture to dry, necrotic, sloughy or granulating wounds
*Preservative free
*Sterile nozzle for ease of application
