Duoderm CGF 10x10cm Single
Benefits:
- Sterile, occlusive dressing that is impermeable to liquids, gases, and microorganisms, including HIV and Hepatitis viruses, helping to reduce the risk of bacterial and viral infection.
- Retains exudate and creates an optimal moist environment to support the healing process while enhancing the action of endogenous enzymes for autolytic debridement.
- Maintains a slightly acidic pH (5.0 – 6.0), which is bacteriostatic, further reducing the risk of infection.
- Capable of absorbing mild to moderate amounts of exudate, allowing dressing changes every 1 to 7 days.
- Impermeable to liquids, minimizing the risk of contamination in patients with incontinence. The dressing also allows for general showering without requiring additional coverings, improving the patient’s quality of life.
Recommendations for Use:
- Suitable for ulcers and wounds with mild to moderate exudate.
- Ideal for pressure injuries, vascular ulcers (venous, arterial, diabetic), wounds in the epithelialization stage, burns, open surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and graft donor areas.
- Can also be used as a secondary dressing.
Instructions for Use:
- Always read the instructions before applying the dressing.
- Assess the wound and surrounding skin. Clean the area with normal saline, avoiding antiseptic solutions. Dry the periwound skin thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion.
- Remove any devitalized tissue and, if necessary, apply hydrogel for autolytic debridement.
- Choose a dressing that exceeds the wound size by at least 3 cm. Change the dressing when leakage occurs through the edges.
- The dressing can remain in place for 2 to 7 days.
- Explain to the patient the drainage characteristics when removing the dressing.
- Avoid using the dressing with other wound care products unless they have been clinically tested by ConvaTec and authorized by a healthcare provider.
