Hydraseal Hydrocolloid Dressing – Extra ThinHydraseal Extra Thin is a flexible, sterile hydrocolloid dressing designed for low-exuding wounds such as superficial pressure ulcers, m
inor burns, and skin abrasions. The advanced hydrocolloid matrix absorbs light exudate and forms a protective gel, maintaining a moist healing environment while shielding the wound from external contaminants. Its ultra-thin design improves conformability and patient comfort, especially on contoured areas, while promoting discreet wear under clothing. Indications: Low-exudate wounds, pressure ulcers (stage I/II), abrasions, minor burns Type: Thin hydrocolloid sheet, sterile, semi-occlusive Function: Absorbs fluid, supports autolytic debridement Comfort: Ultra-thin, flexible, and waterproof Sizes: Available in multiple shapes and sizes for targeted application 🩹 How Hydrocolloid Dressings Work Hydrocolloid dressings like Hydraseal contain gel-forming agents (e.g., carboxymethylcellulose) in an adhesive matrix. When they come into contact with wound exudate, they absorb fluid and form a soft, cohesive gel that: Maintains a moist environment, which supports faster healing Facilitates autolytic debridement, gently breaking down necrotic tissue Creates a barrier against bacteria, dirt, and friction Reduces pain and prevents dressing adherence to the wound bed They are semi-occlusive, meaning they allow vapor to escape but block out contaminants.
