Designed to Support Gentle Wound Healing
DuoDERM® Extra Thin Dressing forms a soft gel when it comes into contact with wound exudate. This moist wound environment helps support epithelialization, collagen synthesis, and natural healing processes while reducing discomfort during dressing wear and removal.
The dressing also provides a waterproof and bacteria-resistant outer layer, helping protect wounds from external contaminants while allowing patients to shower more comfortably.

Patient Comfort & Long Wear Time
The ultra-thin hydrocolloid construction is designed for patient comfort and flexibility. The translucent backing helps reduce unnecessary dressing changes by allowing easier wound observation without disturbing the healing process.

Why Choose DuoDERM® Extra Thin Dressing?
Unlike standard hydrocolloid dressings, DuoDERM® Dressings were among the first wound dressings developed with hydrocolloid technology. The dressing combines absorbent hydrocolloid particles with a protective outer film to create an effective moist healing environment while remaining gentle on the skin.
Its versatile design allows use as either a primary or secondary dressing and can also be cut to fit specific wound areas when required.
