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.
