How to use DuoDERM Hydroactive Gel?

Application and Removal of DuoDERM Gel:

• Apply DuoDERM Hydroactive Sterile Gel directly on the wound surface. Make sure that you do not fill the wound above the level of the surrounding skin. 
• ConvaTec DuoDERM Gel can be worn up to seven days. It should be changed with every dressing change or when the cover dressing starts leaking.

Precautions to be taken while using DuoDERM Gel:

• Colonization of chronic wounds is not uncommon and is not contraindicated to the use of DuoDERM Hydroactive Gel.
• If an infection is developed or suspected while using DuoDERM Gel, an appropriate antibiotic therapy should be considered. The use of the gel may be continued, but the wound healing progress should be carefully monitored and all treatments should be done under medical supervision.
• Occlusive therapy is not recommended in the presence of anaerobic infection.
• For diabetic foot ulcers, measures for controlling blood glucose and maintaining appropriate pressure relief should be provided.
• Autolytic debridement may make the wound appear larger after first few dressing changes and then gradually decreases its size.
• Store DuoDERM Hydroactive Sterile Gel up to 25 degrees C to avoid freezing.

Contraindication

• Do not use DuoDERM gel on individuals with sensitivity to the gel or its components.
