Products Description
Hydrocolloid Standard Dressing is a self-adhesive, wafer-type wound dressing that provides a moist healing environment and is typically designed to be cut to fit the wound's specific size and shape.
Superior support compared to thinner versions: the 1mm thickness is more resistant to friction than the 0.4/0.6mm versions, making it suitable for areas with slight movement.

Features
Self-Adherent
The hydrocolloid material itself has adhesive properties, allowing it to stick to the intact skin around the wound.
01
Customizable
Standard hydrocolloid Dressing can be easily cut to fit the exact shape and size of a wound, which helps minimize the risk of skin maceration (softening due to excess moisture) on healthy skin.
02
Moist Healing
When it interacts with wound fluid (exudate), the dressing forms a gel, creating an optimal moist environment that promotes the body's natural healing processes and autolytic debridement (natural breakdown of dead tissue).
03
Protective Barrier
The outer layer is typically a semipermeable polyurethane film that is a liquid barrier, allowing the patient to shower without compromising the dressing's integrity.
04
Long Wear Time
Strong absorption, stable performance, can be worn for 3-7 days, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and minimizing disruption to the healing wound.
05
Applications
Standard hydrocolloid dressings are most effective for uninfected wounds that produce light to moderate exudate.
Pressure ulcers (bedsores), particularly stages I and II.
Venous and diabetic leg ulcers (used with caution and under professional supervision for diabetic patients).
Minor burns and abrasions.
Surgical wounds.
Acne lesions, with smaller versions often marketed as "pimple patches".
FAQ
Q: What type of wound requires a Hydrocolloid dressing?
A: Hydrocolloid dressings are appropriate for dry or low-exudate wounds that require a moist healing environment. They help hydrate the wound bed, supporting healing and aiding in autolytic debridement
