Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a hydrocolloid wound dressing and how does it work?

A: A hydrocolloid dressing contains gel-forming agents (hydrocolloids) combined with a foam backing. When placed over a wound, the hydrocolloid layer absorbs moisture from the wound site, forming a soft gel that maintains a moist environment. This moist environment helps support the skin's natural recovery process while the outer foam layer provides cushioning and acts as a barrier against water and contaminants.

Q: Can I cut this dressing to fit a smaller wound?

A: Yes! The 10 × 10 cm pad is designed to be cut to any shape or size you need using clean scissors. This makes it very versatile — you can shape it to cover round, oval, or irregularly shaped wounds while maintaining the waterproof seal around the edges.

Q: Is this dressing waterproof?

A: Yes. The hydrocolloid + foam composite is waterproof, breathable, and sweat-resistant. You can go about your normal daily activities, including light hand-washing, without the dressing lifting or losing its seal. However, avoid prolonged submersion (e.g. swimming) to ensure the best adhesion.

Q: How often should I change the dressing?

A: Hydrocolloid dressings can typically be left in place for several days, depending on the wound condition and the amount of fluid absorbed. Change the dressing when you notice it has become saturated (the gel area will appear white or yellow), the edges start lifting, or your healthcare provider advises a change. Always follow professional medical guidance for your specific wound.

Q: Is this product sterile?

A: Yes. Each dressing is individually packaged in a sterile sealed pouch to ensure hygiene at the point of use. Do not use if the packaging has been damaged or previously opened.
