DuoDERM® CGF™ Dressing is a hydrocolloid, moisture-retentive wound dressing that incorporates a unique ConvaTec hydrocolloid formulation that distinguishes it from other hydrocolloid dressings.
Composition
Hydrocolloids are contained within the dressing mass. The adhesive layer contains polymers which enhance the dressing’s ability to contain wound exudate by forming a cohesive gel
Mode of Action
The self adherent dressing absorbs wound fluid and provides a moist environment which supports the body’s healing process and aids in the removal of unnecessary material from the wound (autolytic debridement) without damaging new tissue.
It promotes granulation and facilitates autolytic debridement.
Autolytic debridement removes necrotic tissue as quickly as enzymatic debridement.
Evidence-based action plans for hydrating dry wounds include creation of a moist wound environment to prevent wound drying and to allow autolytic debridement to occur.
DuoDerm CGF Control Gel Formula Dressing acts as a barrier to the wound against bacterial, viral and other external contamination.
Ease of Use
DuoDERM® Dressings can be worn for up to seven days.
The dressings are highly conformable – and can be easily and gently molded into place
