Convatec Duoderm Extra Thin CGF Dressing

DuoDerm Extra Thin CGF Dressing is a thin, versatile, flexible primary dressing designed to reduce the risk of further skin breakdown due to friction. It can be used as a primary hydrocolloid dressing for dry to lightly exudating wounds.  It can be used as a secondary dressing to secure an Aquacel dressing or an Aquacel Af dressing.

Duoderm Extra Thin Dressing can be used to manage stage I and stage II pressure ulcers.

PROTECTION

• A thin polyurethane film provides a bacterial and viral barrier when the dressing remains intact and without leakage
• The film provides a waterproof barrier over the dressing
• The dressing can be removed without damaging newly formed tissue
• It is designed to reduce the risk of further skin breakdown due to friction by preventing contact with clothes/bedlinen
• It can be used on the body as a primary or secondary dressing
• It can be used on skin tears and superficial wounds, dry to lightly exudating wounds, newly-formed tissue or skin at risk of further breakdown

EASE OF APPLICATION

• The translucent backing enhances dressing placement and initial monitoring of the wound
• The dressings are easy to use, mold and can be cut to shape to dress awkward areas

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

• Wash your hands, cleanse and rinse the wound and then dry the surrounding skin
• Measure the wound to select the appropriate dressing size, allowing a 3.0 cm (1 1/4 inches) overlap on intact skin around the whole wound
• Warm the dressing between your hands
• Remove the "top" white release paper, being careful to minimize finger contact with the adhesive surface
• Hold the adhesive side of the dressing over the wound
• Align the dressing with the center of the wound
• Gently apply the center part of the dressing
• Remove the "bottom" white release paper while rolling the dressing in place - but don't stretch it
• Repeat the above procedure on the other side and remove the clear release paper
• Gently mold the dressing into palce for 30 to 60 seconds
• Gently lift one corner of the dressing
• Roll it away from the wound while holding the skin away
