ConvaTec DuoDerm CGF Dressing (15cm x 15cm), Ref # 187661

Product Description :

ConvaTec DuoDERM CGF Dressing (6in. x 6in./ 15cm x 15cm), Ref # 187661 is a control gel formula sterile dressing designed for the management of light to moderately exuding wounds.

DuoDERM® CGF® Control Gel Formula Dressing from ConvaTec is an adhesive (hydrocolloid) wound contact dressing. The hydrocolloids are contained within the dressing mass. The adhesive layer contains polymers which enhance the dressing’s ability to contain wound exudate by forming a cohesive gel.

The DuoDERM self adherent dressing absorbs wound fluid and provides a moist environment which supports the body’s healing process and aids in the removal of unnecessary material from the wound (autolytic debridement) without damaging new tissue. ConvaTec DuoDerm CGF Control Gel Formula Dressing may be used alone or in combination with other wound care products as directed by your healthcare professional.

DuoDerm CGF Control Gel Formula Dressing acts as a barrier to the wound against bacterial, viral and other external contamination. The dressing has been shown in laboratory experiments to block the passage of bacteria and viruses to include the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) while the dressing remains intact without leakage. The use of this device neither guarantees nor warrantees against AIDS transmission.

Instructions For Use :

Before using the dressing, clean the wound area with a wound cleansing agent or normal saline and dry the surrounding skin.

The size of the dressing to be applied to the wound should extend at least 1 1/4 inch (3.2 cm) beyond the edges of the wound.

1. Remove the release paper from the back of the dressing being careful to minimize finger contact with the adhesive surface.
2. Hold the dressing over the wound and line up the center of the dressing with the center of the wound.
3. Gently roll the dressing into place over the wound.
4. Mold the dressing into place with your hand.
5. Secure the edges of the dressing with medical or adhesive tape, if extra security is desired.
6. Discard any unused portion of the product after dressing the wound.

NOTE: The dressing should be inspected frequently for leakage and bunching/ rolling up of edges. If any of these occur, the dressing should be changed. As wound fluid is absorbed by the dressing, gel formation may be visible on the outer surface of the dressing.

Removal of the dressing :

1. Press down on the skin with one hand and carefully lift an edge of the dressing with your other hand. Gently roll off of the wound.
