What are Hydrocolloid Dressings ?
A hydrocolloid is a type of dressing that contains gel-forming agents, such as CMC. In our products, these are combined with elastomers and adhesives and applied to a polyurethane foam or film carrier to form an absorbent, self-adhesive, waterproof dressing for wound care. Although hydrocolloid dressings are an advanced medical device used in hospitals to treat patients with chronic wounds, hydrocolloid bandages are available to consumers for their everyday foot care needs (e.g. blisters and corns), mild cuts, burns, and abrasions, providing a superior wound care experience.
EuroMed’s hydrocolloid dressings are skin-friendly dual-layered medical devices made of a skin-like, smooth top layer and absorbent adhesive bottom layer. Our bordered products feature a patented tapered edge that prevents roll-up and bunching while sealing out contaminants. Our consumer bandages and professional products work with the body to promote an optimal moist wound healing environment. The adhesive is applied directly to the non-infected wound. As the adhesive layer interacts with wound fluid, it forms a soft gel. Upon removal, most of the gel matrix is removed with the hydrocolloid dressings or bandages, resulting in little or no damage to the newly-formed tissue. Hydrocolloid dressings can remain in place for up to 7 days, even while showering.
