Product Usage – DuoDERM Extra-Thin Dressing
The DuoDERM Extra-Thin Dressing is designed for the protection and healing of superficial or low-exudate wounds.
To use, the wound area should be cleaned and dried. The dressing is then applied directly over the wound, ensuring that it extends slightly beyond the wound edges. It adheres smoothly to the skin and can remain in place for several days, providing a moist wound-healing environment that supports faster recovery and reduces the risk of infection. The dressing is removed gently when it begins to lift or when wound inspection is required.
