DuoDERM Extra Thin Dressing 15×15 cm Pack of 10

DuoDERM Extra Thin by ConvaTec is a thin hydrocolloid medical dressing designed to protect superficial wounds and wounds with low levels of exudate, while promoting healing by maintaining a suitable moist environment. It consists of a specialized hydrocolloid matrix and an outer layer that allows water vapor to pass through, helping protect the skin and reduce friction that could cause damage.

The dressing can be used to cover minor wounds and protect sensitive or newly healed skin. Depending on the type of wound and the care plan, it may be used as either a primary or secondary dressing.
