Hydraseal Hydrocolloid Dressing – Extra Thin
Hydraseal Extra Thin is a flexible, sterile hydrocolloid dressing designed for low-exuding wounds such as superficial pressure ulcers, minor 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.

🩹 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.
