DuoDERM CGF Hydrocolloid Dressing 10cm x 10cm | Box of 5

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE.

DuoDERM CGF is an adhesive hydrocolloid dressing for wounds with low to moderate fluid. The contact material forms a cohesive gel as it absorbs wound fluid, helping maintain a moist wound environment.

One supplier box of five

• Five sterile DuoDERM CGF dressings per box.
• Each dressing measures 10cm x 10cm.
• Controlled Gel Formulation hydrocolloid dressing.

This is the CGF dressing, not DuoDERM Extra Thin or a hydrogel tube. Each website unit is one box of five dressings.

Application and dressing changes

Clean the wound with a suitable wound-cleansing agent or normal saline and dry the surrounding skin. The manufacturer’s instructions specify that the dressing should extend at least 3.2cm beyond the wound edges. Remove the backing without touching the adhesive surface, position the dressing and gently mould it into place. Press the surrounding skin down and gently roll the dressing away when removing it.

Inspect frequently for leakage or rolled edges and replace the dressing if either occurs. Follow the supplied instructions and your healthcare professional’s change schedule; the maximum recommended wear time is seven days.

Precautions and professional advice

• Do not use if you are sensitive or have had an allergic reaction to the dressing or its components.
• Sterility is guaranteed unless the package is damaged or opened before use. Single use only.
• Do not combine with other wound-care products without consulting a healthcare professional.
• Infected wounds may only be treated under the care of a healthcare professional; an occlusive dressing alone is not appropriate treatment for clinical infection.
• Consult a healthcare professional if the wound enlarges after the first few dressing changes, or if irritation, surrounding-skin whitening, excess tissue formation or allergic reaction occurs.
• Seek advice for signs of infection, increased pain, bleeding, wound drainage, a change in colour or odour, or failure to begin showing signs of healing.

Complex, deep or non-healing wounds require professional assessment and appropriate supportive care. If symptoms persist, contact your healthcare professional.
