McKesson Hydrocolloid Dressing with Film Backing 6 x 7 Inch - Sterile

McKesson Hydrocolloid Dressing with Film Backing 6 x 7 Inch - Sterile Overview

The McKesson Hydrocolloid Dressing with Film Backing is a pliable, absorbent, and waterproof wound dressing that provides an effective barrier to microorganisms. It helps maintain a moist wound healing environment without over-hydrating the wound bed. This hydrocolloid dressing is generally recommended for a wide range of wounds, including pressure ulcers, minor injuries, leg ulcers, and burns. With its cohesive dressing removal system, it does not break down or leave residue in the wound, making it easy to remove without tearing the dressing or skin.

Features and Benefits:

• Pliable and Absorbent: The hydrocolloid layer reacts with cellular material from the wound to form a gel-like covering that helps maintain a moist wound environment.
• Easy Removal: The cohesive dressing removal system minimizes potential wound bed disturbance and facilitates easy removal without tearing the dressing or skin.
• Rounded Corners and Smooth Tapered Design: The low-profile rounded corners and smooth tapered design help reduce edge roll-up and the risk of shear and friction.
• Semi-Transparent Outer Layer: The semi-transparent outer layer permits visualization of the wound site without removing the dressing.
• Highly Absorbent Inner Layer: The highly absorbent inner layer effectively removes exudates from the wound and facilitates granulation, epithelization, and autolysis.
• Moisture Resistant Outer Barrier Film: The moisture resistant outer barrier film helps prevent urine, feces, and/or moisture from penetrating the dressing, reducing the risk of contamination to the wound.
• Long Wear Time: With up to 7 days of wear time, this dressing provides an undisturbed moist wound environment, enhances healing, minimizes skin maceration, and reduces the frequency of dressing changes.
