Product Overview
Mckesson - 1885 - Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing 6 X 7 Inch Sacral
The Mckesson Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing is designed for wound care management, offering a comfortable and effective solution for protecting and healing sacral wounds. Its thin, flexible hydrocolloid material adheres gently to the skin while creating a moist wound environment to promote healing. The dressing is ideal for low to moderately exuding wounds, including pressure ulcers, minor burns, and abrasions.
Features:
- Thin and flexible design for enhanced comfort and conformity to body contours.
- Hydrocolloid technology absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment.
- Self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without additional tape.
- Waterproof barrier protects the wound from contaminants and bacteria.
- Breathable material reduces the risk of maceration.
- Easy removal with minimal trauma to the wound or surrounding skin.
Specifications:
- Size: 6 x 7 inches (sacral shape for optimal coverage).
- Material: Hydrocolloid with a polyurethane film backing.
- Sterility: Sterile, single-use dressing.
- Shelf Life: Check packaging for expiration date.
- Latex-Free: Safe for individuals with latex sensitivities.
Use Suggestion:
Clean and dry the wound area thoroughly before application. Remove the protective liner and apply the dressing directly over the wound, smoothing it gently to ensure full adhesion. The dressing can remain in place for several days, depending on exudate levels. Replace when the hydrocolloid becomes saturated or the edges begin to lift. For best results, monitor the wound regularly and consult a healthcare professional for guidance on dressing changes.
