Deciphering Hydrocolloid Dressings: Benefits & Trends
The niche of wound care dressings is rather exhaustive, with plenty of options on offer. However, few
types of dressings have emerged as a global favourite. Hydrocolloid Dressings is one such example.
Used in inpatient and outpatient environments, Hydrocolloid Dressings have emerged as a cost-
effective solution in healthcare settings. This is a discussion about Hydrocolloid Dressings, including
different types of dressings, their defining features and some guidance about how to purchase medical
dressings.
Prepping you with the basics: What are hydrocolloid dressings?
Hydrocolloids are substances that form a gel-like material when mixed with water. Hydrocolloid
dressings come in the form of powders and pastes. Standard ingredients of a typical Hydrocolloid
Dressing include gelatin, pectin and Carboxymethylcellulose—responsible for the gel-like consistency
that protects and expedites healing. The gel forms an adhesive compound that is highly resistant to
water and is rather flexible, making it easy to apply the dressing over the wound. This dressing benefits
from defining traits associated with Hydrocolloids—impressive absorption and adhesive qualities. This
dressing is primarily used for tending to dry wounds, necrotic tissue and granular wounds. Typical
application areas of Hydrocolloid Dressings include elbows and heels.
Advantages of Hydrocolloid Dressings You Should Know About
Hydrocolloid Dressings are preferred in different types of healthcare scenarios because:
• They do not allow moisture to permeate
• Feature antiseptic and antibacterial properties
• Provide effective insulation
• Self-adherent, easy-to-apply dressing
Digging Deeper into the Discussion
1. Longer Application Benefits: The best thing about hydrocolloid dressing or Comfeel Plus
Dressings is that it does not need to be changed often. In most healthcare settings, attending
physicians change this dressing between 3 and 7 days—a major advantage for the patient in
terms of convenience and keeping the cost of care low.
2. Therapeutic Benefits: Despite being an economically priced dressing, it delivers more than
merely covering/protecting the wound. This dressing alleviates pain to some extent and it also
accelerates the overall healing. Hydrocolloids also aid regeneration of tissue, creating the
perfecting environment for healing and regeneration at the cellular level.
3. Impermeability Benefits: the outer, gel-like consistency provides comprehensive protection
against common threats to the underlying, i.e. extreme temperatures, humidity and moisture.
This non-permeability also reduces chances of bacterial invasion.
4. Flexibility Benefits: Hydrocolloid dressings are rather easy to apply. They are available in
different shapes and sizes, at most pharmacy stores, ensuring there is a relevant medical
dressing for any type of wounded body part.
Concluding with how to buy Hydrocolloid Dressings
There are different ways in which you can approach sourcing medical dressings. The online marketplace
presents the easier, more economical approach. However, ensure you choose trustworthy online
wound care product suppliers like Wound-care.co.uk—it stocks only 100% genuine medical dressings,
safely warehoused, ready to ship and at enticing bulk prices. You get the advantage of finding all types
of medical dressings at a single online hub, safety of online payments and excellent customer guidance
services.
