DuoDERM Ultra-Light Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing

1. What is DuoDERM Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing used for?
It’s used to manage light to moderately exuding wounds, such as minor burns, abrasions, surgical wounds, and pressure ulcers. It helps create a moist environment that promotes faster and cleaner healing.

2. Can I shower with the dressing on?
Yes, the vapor-permeable outer film is water-resistant, allowing you to shower without removing the dressing. However, avoid soaking or submerging the dressing for extended periods.

3. How often should I change the dressing?
The dressing can typically stay in place for several days, depending on the amount of wound exudate and your healthcare provider’s advice. It should be changed when it becomes loose, leaks, or reaches the recommended wear time.
