DuoDERM® Dressings Support Gentle Wound Management

DuoDERM® Dressings

  • Nothing grabs your attention like something ´on the edge´
  • It might or might not make the transition into an unfavorable situation.
  • Wound dressings manage this situation by being applied at the right point in time to increase the chances of successful healing.

On contact with a moist wound surface, DuoDERM® Dressings form a gel that creates a moist wound healing environment.

  1. An outer film provides a waterproof barrier over the dressing.
  2. The foam layer is designed to provide both thermal and mechanical protection.
  3. A honeycomb matrix of hydrocolloid particles absorbs exudate to form a soft, moist gel.
  4. The dressings keep nerve endings moist, which helps to provide relief from discomfort.1,2
  5. 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.
