Hydrocolloid dressing is a special kind of wound dressing used in the treatment of mildly exuding wounds, like minor burns or bed sores. These dressings are waterproof, and unlike simpler dressings, they provide a moist and insulating environment to promote wound healing.
Hydrocolloid dressings have an inner layer of gel-forming agents called hydrocolloid particles, which include carboxymethylcellulose, gelatin, and pectin. This inner layer promotes wound healing by absorbing exudate, which is a type of drainage made of water, white blood cells, and proteins. This feature provides a moist healing environment, which allows for faster healing and reduced scar formation.
The outside layer is waterproof and made of polyurethane foam or film, which shields the wound from bacteria, foreign bodies, and debris. Any bacteria and debris that might accumulate are trapped in the dressing and removed when the dressing is changed. In fact, these dressings facilitate wound care because they can be left in place for up to a week and, therefore, typically don't need to be changed as often as other dressings unless they are malodorous, soiled, or saturated. In addition, they are easy to apply and allow for easy washing and bathing due to their waterproof nature. Because the dressing doesn't adhere to the wound, its removal is mostly painless, making it particularly suitable for the pediatric population. Finally, although quite rare, skin irritation or itchiness may occur as a side effect of the dressing application.
How to use
1. Cleanse the wound with appropriate wound cleanser. Cleanse and dry the periwound skin.
2. Choose a dressing large enough to cover the wound with 2cm of overlap on all sizes of the wound
3. Remove the back paper, expose the adhesive surface.
4. Center the dressing over the wound press from the center outward, hold 30 seconds.
