DUODERM EXTRA THIN DRESSING 5x10cm (187900)

• Is a dressing with a gel-forming formula that is highly flexible
• Designed for use on dry or lightly exuding wounds
• Suitable for areas of skin prone to peeling or areas with folds that require good adhesion such as elbows, heels, etc.
• Interacts with wound moisture and forms a soft gel layer that helps remove the dressing without pain and without damaging newly formed tissues
• Helps isolate the wound from bacteria and external factors

• DuoDERM Extra Thin interacts with wound moisture and forms a soft gel layer that helps remove the dressing without pain and without damaging newly formed tissues
• The gel layer gradually expands as the dressing absorbs exudate
• The adhesive capability of the hydrocolloid layer in DuoDERM^® EXTRA THIN^® changes over the duration of use.
• The adhesive capability of the hydrocolloid layer will change according to the duration of dressing application.
• After a short time of applying the dressing, the adhesion will increase as the dressing is warmed by body temperature and reaches maximum adhesion after a few hours.
• After that, moisture from the wound and sweat on the skin interacting with the hydrocolloid particles will gradually reduce the adhesion of the dressing. This process takes place after a few days, up to 7 days. Temperature and humidity factors also affect the adhesion of the dressing.

• Superficial wounds, ulcers, dry to lightly exuding
• Surgical incisions
• Protective cover dressing for primary dressings

DuoDERM® EXTRA THIN® should not be used for individuals who are sensitive to the components of the dressing

• Use must be under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
• DuoDERM^® EXTRA THIN^® helps manage the wound locally. In chronic wounds, other factors such as patient repositioning and nutritional support must be considered.
• Increase in wound size: deeper tissue damage may appear beneath superficial skin ulcers.
• When using occlusive dressings, especially when necrotic tissue is present, the wound may appear larger after the first few dressing changes due to the removal of this tissue.

• Wounds, especially large or necrotic ones, often have an unpleasant odor; however, this is not necessarily a sign of infection.
• The odor will disappear when the wound is cleaned.

• If clinical signs of infection such as unusual odor, change in exudate color, fever, or inflammation are present, a swab should be taken for identification. If infection is confirmed, an appropriate treatment regimen should be combined. Continue using DuoDERM under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
