DUODERM GEL 30G (187987)
Hydrocolloid gel for wounds.
Description and product characteristics
DuoDERM® Hydroactive ® Gel
- Is a transparent, preservative-free gel containing hydrocolloid ingredients
- The hydrocolloids in DuoDERM Hydroactive Gel are:
- Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and pectin.
- Propylene glycol.
- The gel can be used on shallow and deep wounds to provide moisture, support autolytic debridement of slough and necrotic tissue, and fill deep and dry wounds.
- To optimize effectiveness, it is recommended to use a moisture-retentive cover dressing such as DuoDERM CGF
- Thanks to the presence of hydrocolloids, the gel not only provides moisture to the wound but also absorbs exudate, unlike other hydrogels on the market.
- Immediately creates a moist environment upon application, with no need to wait for a gel layer to form. The uniform consistency makes it easy to use and prevents running.
- Forms a moist wound healing environment that supports the healing process by facilitating autolytic debridement and allowing for painless dressing removal without damaging newly formed tissues.
Indications
- Indicated for providing moisture and managing partial or full-thickness skin loss wounds such as pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers
Contraindications
Do not use DuoDERM® Hydroactive ® Gel for individuals sensitive to the ingredients of the product
Observe and pay attention
- Bacterial colonization of chronic wounds is common and is not a contraindication for DuoDERM® Hydroactive ® Gel
- When there is a suspicion of infection before or the onset of infection during the use of DuoDERM® Hydroactive ® Gel, it should be combined with an appropriate antimicrobial treatment regimen:
- DuoDERM® Hydroactive ® Gel can continue to be used but the progress of the wound must be closely monitored
- In cases of anaerobic infection, the use of an occlusive dressing is not recommended
- The moist wound healing environment created by the gel can help support autolytic debridement and make the wound appear larger after the first few dressing changes.
Instructions for use
- Clean the wound and let it dry
- Open the gel tube cap
- Apply DuoDERM gel directly onto the wound
- Do not fill the gel beyond the wound edges
- DuoDERM Gel should be rinsed/changed when the edges of the secondary dressing lift or when a dressing change is indicated
- The maximum wear time of the gel on the wound is 7 days
Note
The maximum retention time of the gel on the wound is 7 days
