Dermacoll - DA
Dermacoll-DA
Dermacoll™-DA is indicated for wound management of slightly to moderately exudating wounds
that are granulating or with wounds that have areas of necrosis. It has a 3 layer construction
composed of an absorbent hydrocolloid full coated layer backed by a thick, soft, smooth elastic and
breathable layer of polyurethane foam. Also available in perforated and striped layers of
hydrocolloid.
Benefits
Dermacoll™-DA absorbs exudates into the hydrocolloid matrix and forms a cohesive gel which
enables removal with little or no damage to newly formed tissue.
•
The fluid is absorbed and transported by polyurethane foam matrix to the breathable
polyurethane film outer layer. This tri-laminate combination enhances the total fluid handling
capacity of the dressing while also ensuring the moisture is regulated within the wound. This
maintains a moist wound environment and prevents the wound from drying out.
•
Aiding autolysis.
•
Promoting angiogenesis.
•
Promoting granulation.
•
Providing a bacterial barrier that reduces the risk of infection.
•
Providing a waterproof barrier.
•
Reduces maceration of the peri-wound skin.
