HydrocollClassic is a self-adherent absorbent hydrocolloid dressing for the treatment of noninfected exuding wounds. The hydrocolloids transform into a gel when in contact with wound exudate and form a moist environment which has a stimulating effect on granulation and epithelialisation. Epithelialization is the crucial process of repairing damaged skin or tissue by creating a new layer of epithelial cells (keratinocytes) to cover a wound.
Features:
Patient convenience:Waterproof and can remain on the wound for up to seven days
Protection:Contains a semipermeable cover layer which is impermeable to organisms and water
