This DuoDERM Signal Dressing incorporates a unique ConvaTec hydrocolloid formulation that distinguishes it from other hydrocolloid dressings, and it combines the convenience of a visual indicator to signal the proper time to change the dressing along with the added feature of tapered edges to reduce rolling and bunching up both of which offer the benefit of potentially reducing premature dressing removals; fewer dressing removals can produce increased cost effectiveness as well as reduced pain for the patient and reduced disruption to the wound bed. Plus, the adhesive hydrocolloid matrix and the non-staining, moisture-resistant, outer film on this DuoDERM Signal dressing are permeable by moisture vapor and provide an occlusive barrier against bacteria, viruses, dirt, and water, and this unique dressing is indicated for the management of lightly to moderately exuding wounds; can be used as a primary dressing; and is a highly effective secondary dressing for use over wound fillers.
