Hydrocolloid Dressings

These are opaque and adhesive wafer type dressings used for light to moderately exuding wounds. They consist of a layer of hydrocolloid which is combined with other polymers and adhesives to form a flexible, moist, non-breathable dressing which reacts with exudates to form a gel-like covering thus protecting the wound. Easy to use, provides effective occlusion and reduced dressing frequency.
