Hydrocolloid Dressing

Hydrocolloid dressing is a wafer type of dressing that contains gel-forming agents in an adhesive compound laminated onto a flexible, water-resistant outer layer. Hydrocolloid dressing is a wound dressing designed for a wide range of lightly to moderate exuding wounds, such as pressure ulcer (stage I and II), leg venous ulcer, first and second degree burns, skin grafts and donor site, post-operative and traumatic wounds. It also can be used on cavity wounds when used as a secondary dressing.
