WHY IS A MOIST WOUND ENVIRONMENT CRUCIAL TO WOUND HEALING?

Keeping wounds moist is essential to the healing process.  Using Duoderm Hydroactive Sterile Gel can help create and maintain the ideal moist wound environment and facilitate faster, more efficient healing.

Duoderm Hydroactive Sterile Gel is a hydrocolloid formulation.  Hydrocolloids are water-based emulsions that absorb liquid.  When applied to a wound, a hydrocolloid gel absorbs exudate from the wound.  This action supports autolytic debridement, which is the body's process of removing old, dead cells to make way for new, healthy ones.

How to Use Duoderm Hydroactive Sterile Gel:

Duoderm Hydroactive Sterile Gel is applied directly to the wound area.  Each tube has a sterile nozzle for safe, clean application.

The wound can then be covered with a bandage to facilitate the healing process.  It can be used with regular gauze bandages, or it can be used in conjunction with a hydrocolloid dressing, such as Duoderm CGF, Duoderm Extra Thin or Duoderm Signal Dressings.  Duoderm Hydroactive Sterile Gel is one of Convatec's most practical, versatile products.
