What is a hydrocolloid dressing used for?
Hydrocolloid dressings are usedin the treatment of non-infected, mildly exuding wounds, such as minor burns or pressure ulcers, also known as bed sores. Because these dressings are flexible, they can be used for difficult-to-dress areas, like the elbows, heels, or knees.
Hydrocolloid dressings have two layers. The inner, hydrocolloid adhesive layer has particles that absorb exudate to form a hydrated gel over the wound, creating a moist environment that promotes healing and protects new tissue.
