Duoderm Dressing is a type of wound care dressing made specifically to prevent infection and promote the healing of wounds. The dressings are more advanced than traditional ones, as they feature a special ingredient called hydrocolloid. Duoderm Dressings are useful for management of a wide variety of wounds including minor burns, bed sores, cuts, ulcers, abrasion and post-operative wounds. They act as a waterproof protective barrier which helps to maintain moisture and promote wound healing and discourage bacterial growth. Duoderm Dressing absorbs exudate and debris from the wound and forms a moist environment, creating rapid healing. In addition, it insulates the wound, protects it from friction and contamination and offers comfort during and after use. Because of its easy to use properties and excellent healing abilities, Duoderm Dressing is recommended for a variety of wound care needs.

Instructions on How to Apply Duoderm Dressing

2. Clean the wound with saline and pat dry with a sterile gauze.
3. Examine the wound and ensure it is free of infection.
4. Squeeze a generous amount of Duoderm dressing onto your finger and spread onto wound.
5. Ensure firm application of the dressing to the environment.
6. Create an Anchor Firm seal around the edges of the Duoderm Dressing.
7. Secure with a sterile surgical tape.
8. Cover all exposed areas with the dressing ensuring adherence with the outer edges.
9. Check seal around the wound every 3 days or more often.
10. Change dressing if you observe signs of irritation or the bandage is leaking.

A pressure ulcer, also known as a bedsore, is a wound that develops when pressure or friction is applied to the skin for a long period of time. This can happen when a person is confined to a bed or wheelchair for a long period of time. The pressure cuts off the blood supply to the skin, which can damage the skin and underlying tissue.

Duoderm Cgf Dressing is made with a unique gelling action that creates a moist wound environment, designed to support the healing process and facilitate autolytic debridement. Duoderm is a moisture-retentive dressing that absorbs wound fluids and provides a moist environment, which supports the body's healing process and aids in the removal of unnecessary material from the wound (autolytic debridement) without damaging new tissue. The duoderm acts as a barrier to the wound against bacterial, viral and other external contamination while intact and without leakage. The Duoderm dressings are made to manage minor abrasions, lacerations, minor cuts, minor scalds and burns, leg ulcers (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, and leg ulcers of mixed etiology), diabetic ulcers and pressure ulcers (partial-and full-thickness), surgical wounds (postoperative left to heal by secondary intention, donor sites, dermatologic excisions) second-degree burns, and traumatic wounds.
