McKesson Sterile 4" x 4" Hydrocolloid Dressing - Off white

Hydrocolloids Primary or secondary dressing for wounds with light to moderate exudate. Helps maintain a moist wound environment to assist in autolytic debridement. When in contact with wound exudate, it forms a fluid/gel environment over the wound bed. Dressing does not break down or leave residue in the wound.

Thin and Film Back versions feature a smooth, tapered design to help minimize friction and prevent dressing edges from rolling up. Thin hydrocolloid is semi-transparent, allowing vizualization of the wound. Contains a semi-transparent layer that permits wound evaluation without removing dressing. Moisture-resistant backing helps prevent urine, feces or moisture from penetrating the dressing to reduce risk of contamination.

• Low-profile rounded corners and smooth tapered design helps reduce edge roll-up and risk of shear and friction
• Semi-transparent outer layer permits wound site visualization without removing dressing
• Highly absorbent inner layer effectively removes exudates from the wound and facilitates granulation, epithelization, and autolysis
• Moisture resistant outer barrier film helps prevent urine, feces and/or moisture from penetrating the dressing reducing the risk of contamination to the wound
• Up to 7 day wear time provides undisturbed moist wound environment, enhances healing, minimizes skin maceration, and reduces frequency of dressing changes
