Hydrocoll


Supplier of Hydrocoll

HYDROCOLL is an advanced hydrocolloid wound dressing designed to provide a moist healing environment for faster and more effective wound recovery. It absorbs wound exudate and forms a protective gel layer that helps promote natural healing while reducing the risk of infection.

Key Features :

  • Forms hydrophilic gel on absorption of exudates
  • Facilitates autolytic debridement
  • Promotes formation of granulation tissue & angiogenesis
  • Lowers wount pH; reduces chances of infection
  • Decreases scar formation

Benefits:

  • Optimized Wound Healing Environment: For healing wounds, it protects the developing epithelium, and for dry wounds, it helps retain essential moisture.
  • Exudate Management: Forms a hydrophilic gel upon absorbing wound exudates to manage fluid effectively.
  • Facilitates Autolytic Debridement: Natural debridement is enhanced, helping the body clear away dead tissue safely.
  • Tissue Regeneration: Active components promote the formation of healthy granulation tissue and angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth).
  • Infection Prevention: Lowers the wound pH, which significantly reduces the chances of bacterial infection.
  • Cosmetic Healing: Minimizes overall tissue trauma to decrease scar formation.
  • User Comfort: Engineered for liquid absorption with fast flow and no leakage. It is designed not to stick to the wound bed or form a painful scab, making it much easier and more comfortable to tear off and remove.

Where to Use

  • This dressing is explicitly indicated for the effective management of pressure ulcers and various skin lesions, including:
  • Pressure Ulcers & Bedsores: Specifically mapped for high-risk bony prominence zones including the back of the head, ears, shoulders, elbows, hips, buttocks, thighs, legs, and heels.
  • Skin Abrasions
  • Superficial Burns
  • Skin Supply Area Wounds (Donor Sites)
  • Surgical Wounds

Directions For Use:

  • Cleanse and Prep: Prepare the wound bed according to standard clinical protocols.
  • Size and Cut: Take note of the dressing dimensions (the total size is $10 \times 10\text{ cm}$ with a $7 \times 9\text{ cm}$ central hydrocolloid island). The dressing features a customizable “free cutting” design, allowing you to trim it to perfectly fit unique anatomical contours or wound shapes if necessary.
  • Application: Apply the dressing centered over the wound site. The thin-border design ensures a secure, low-profile seal.
  • Action Mechanism: Once applied, the dressing works via a three-tiered action plan: Cover, Protect, Heal. The outer waterproof polyurethane film seals out external contaminants and water while the underlying viscous hydrocolloid goes to work absorbing drainage.
  • Monitoring and Removal: Replace the dressing when it becomes saturated with gel or according to clinical guidelines. The non-stick formulation ensures it peels away smoothly without stripping newly formed skin or epithelial layers.
