Homepage > Hydrocolloid Dressings >

Hydrocolloid dressings are moisture-retentive wound coverings made of gel-forming agents like pectin, gelatin, and carboxymethylcellulose. They form a gel when in contact with wound exudate, promoting a moist healing environment. These dressings are ideal for low to moderately exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, minor burns, and postoperative wounds. They provide a barrier to bacteria and are often used for autolytic debridement.
