The Hydrocoll dressing is a self-adhesive and absorbent hydrocolloid dressing. It is particularly indicated in the treatment of moderately to slightly exuding wounds.
It forms a gel that creates a moist environment conducive to healing while avoiding maceration, and absorbs the exudate of the wound thanks to the hydrocolloid. This layer of gel prevents them from adhering to the wound, so that the renewal of the dressing is carried out without damaging the granulation and re-epithelialization tissues. The change is therefore almost painless for the patient.
The finesse and suppleness of the material that makes it up allow it to adapt well to the contours of the body, facilitating daily body care.
In addition, the Hydrocoll Hydrocolloid Dressing has a water-repellent surface that is impermeable to dirt, creating a protective barrier against bacteria. The Hydrocoll dressing promotes healing while providing effective protection against unintentional contact and impact.
Hydrocoll is composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyisobutene, a Styrolene-isoprene-Styrolene block copolymer, a Styrolene-isoprene block copolymer and a polyurethane film, allowing gas exchange, but remaining impermeable to liquids and germs, and coated with medical-grade acrylate glue.
The absorption of secretions causes the formation of a whitish gel, which is visible on the surface for a change in coloration and the appearance of a vesicle. Hydrocoll should be changed when the blister almost reaches the edge of the dressing. However, if secretions leak from the dressing, then the dressing will need to be changed immediately. To remove Hydrocoll, gently pull the edges of the dressing. Hydrocolloid gel, which should not be confused with pus, may remain on the wound. This gel does not interfere with healing and can be rinsed off, if necessary.
