Why use this dressing?
DuoDerm Hydrocolloid Dressings support gentle wound management in contact with a moist wound surface. They form a gel that creates an optimal moist wound healing environment.
- An outer film provides a waterproof barrier over the dressing.
- The foam layer is designed to provide both thermal and mechanical protection.
- A honeycomb matrix of hydrocolloid particles absorbs exudate to form a soft, moist gel.
- The dressings keep nerve endings moist, which helps to provide relief from discomfort.
- DuoDerm dressings can be worn continuously for up to seven days unless they are uncomfortable, there is leakage, or there are clinical signs of infection.

How to apply DuoDerm Dressing?
Prior to Dressing:
- Wash your hands, cleanse and rinse the wound, then dry the surrounding skin
- Measure the wound to select the appropriate dressing size, allowing a 1¼ inch (3cm) overlap on intact skin around the whole wound
Applying the dressing:
- Warm the dressing between your hands
- Remove the ‘top’ white release paper being careful to minimize finger contact with the adhesive surface
- Hold the adhesive side of the dressing over the wound
- Align with the center of the wound
- Gently apply the center part of the dressing
- Remove the ‘bottom’ white release paper while rolling the dressing in place – but don’t stretch it
- Repeat on the other side and remove the clear-release paper
- Gently mold the dressing into place for 30–60 seconds
Removal:
- Gently lift one corner of the dressing
- Roll it away from the wound while holding the skin away
- Gently lift the other corners and pull upwards until the dressing completely peels off
