McKesson Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing is a hydrocolloid wound dressing.
INTENDED USES: Management of partial and full thickness wounds such as leg ulcers and pressure sores. Help maintain a moist wound healing environment to assist in autolytic debridement and protect the wound from external contamination.
CLAIMED BENEFITS: Hydrocolloid layer reacts with cellular material from the wound to form a gel-like covering to help maintain a moist wound environment. Cohesive dressing removal system does not break down or leave residue in the wound and facilitates removal without tearing the dressing or skin. Wound contact layer remains intact and minimizes potential wound bed disturbance. Low-profile rounded corners and smooth tapered design helps reduce edge roll-up and risk of shear and friction. Semi-transparent outer layer permits wound site visualization without removing dressing. Thin and flexible dressing conforms to body contours; adhesion is firm yet gentle to peri-wound skin.Highly absorbent inner layer effectively removes exudates from the wound and facilitates granulation, epithelization, and autolysis. Moisture resistant outer barrier film helps prevent urine, feces and/or moisture from penetrating the dressing reducing the risk of contamination to the wound. Up to 7 day wear time provides undisturbed moist wound environment, enhances healing, minimizes skin maceration, and reduces frequency of dressing changes. Sterile. Single Use. Not made with natural rubber latex.
