DuoDerm CGF Hydrocolloid Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

ConvaTec DuoDerm CGF Hydrocolloid Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

The ConvaTec DuoDerm CGF Hydrocolloid Dressing is a sterile, self-adherent wound dressing designed to support a moist healing environment for a wide range of wounds. It's ideal for anyone managing minor abrasions, cuts, burns, lacerations, and skin tears at home or in a clinical setting. Featuring ConvaTec's advanced Control Gel Formula (CGF), this dressing absorbs excess moisture and drainage to help promote faster, more comfortable healing.

DuoDerm CGF works by interacting with wound exudate to form a soft gel that keeps the wound bed moist while wicking away excess fluid. Its adhesive gel polymers hold the dressing securely in place and help contain drainage, so you can go about your day with confidence. The dressing also creates a protective barrier against viruses and bacteria, helping to reduce the risk of infection. Because it's self-adherent, application is simple, and removal is gentle—lifting away debrided tissue without damaging fragile new tissue underneath.

This dressing measures 4 x 4 inches and is available in a single dressing or a box of 5—simply choose your preferred option below. You can use DuoDerm CGF on its own or alongside other wound care products for a customized treatment approach. Many wound care supplies like this one are FSA/HSA eligible, so check your plan before you buy.
