Hydrocolloid dressings are dressings made of elastic polymeric hydrogels mixed with synthetic rubber and goo. The most common gel used in dressing is hydroxymethyl cellulose, which can be firmly adhered to the skin at the edge of the wound and can swell up to 12 times after absorbing the exudation.
It has the ability to absorb wound seepage. After absorbing the exudative fluid, hydrophilic particles in the dressing can form a semi-solid material similar to gel, which adheres to the base of the wound and provides and maintains a wet environment conducive to wound healing.
It is viscous and can form occlusive wounds. Closed healing environment can promote the proliferation of microvessels and the formation of granulation tissue, thus accelerating wound healing.
Can play the debridement function. On the one hand, hydrocolloids contain endogenous enzymes that promote the dissolution of fibrin. On the other hand, the closed environment provided by hydrocolloidal dressings facilitates the removal of necrotic tissue by macrophages.
1. Transparent paste is mainly used for wounds with less exudation, such as superficial burns, partial cortical burns, donor area wounds, post-operative wounds and skin abrasions. The sacral dressing in the transparent patch is suitable for sacrococcygeal wounds.
2. Ulcer patch is mainly suitable for wounds with low to moderate exudation, such as leg ulcers and pressure sores; It is also used for superficial burns, partial cortical burns, donor area wounds, post-operative wounds, and skin abrasions.
3. Pressure relief paste is mainly used for the prevention and treatment of pressure sore.
4. Butterfly patch is mainly used for the prevention and treatment of pressure sores in difficult to fix parts.
5. Hydrocolloid is also an ideal dressing for children. Active children can still play unfettered after the application of hydrocolloid dressings because the closed nature of the dressings protects the wound from infection by bacteria it may come into contact with. In addition, hydrocolloid dressings do not cause pain to children when removed.
