What Is Adhesive Dressing?

A hydrocolloid dressing is a dressing made by mixing an elastic polymer hydrogel with a synthetic rubber and a viscous material. The most common gel in dressings is hydroxymethylcellulose. The gel can be firmly adhered to the skin around the edge of the wound and can swell 12 times when it absorbs exudate.

Hydrocolloid dressing is made of elastic polymer

Hydrocolloid dressings have the following properties:

1. Has the ability to absorb wound exudate. After absorbing the exudate, the

   Hydrocolloid dressings are a new type developed under the guidance of the principle of wet healing

   1. First clean the skin of the patient's compressed area with warm water; then scrub the skin of the compressed area with normal saline. If there is a wound, rinse the wound with normal saline and gently dry the skin around the wound; Cover the wound with the dressing and tacky side and remove the non-contact protective film.

   2. Change the dressing, depending on the amount of wound exudation and the quality of the dressing itself. Generally, it should be replaced once every 1-3 days. When the ulcer, transparent and special dressings on the transdermal area absorb and saturate, the dressing changes. The appearance becomes milky white and transparent. At this time, it is suggested to change the dressing. When the thickness of the foam of the decompression patch has reduced by half, it should be replaced. If there is leakage, please change the dressing in time.

   3. For decompression stickers, remove the foam circle marked with orange mark according to the size of the wound, so that the foam-free area is slightly larger than the wound by 1.5-2cm. Tear off the dressing protection paper, gently press the dressing from one side to the other to cover the wound, and then remove the protection paper on the microporous adhesive to cover the wound gently.
   Indications: all types of low to moderate exudative wounds, venous ulcers in the lower limbs, stage I-II bedsores, small-scale superficial burns, post-operative wounds, wounds in the donor site, various superficial traumas and cosmetic cosmetic wounds , Granulation and epithelialization of chronic wounds.
