DuoDerm Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing, 3 x 3 Inch

ConvaTec DuoDerm Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing, 3 x 3 Inch

The ConvaTec DuoDerm Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing is a thin, flexible wound dressing designed to support the healing of superficial wounds, minor burns, abrasions, and areas at risk of skin breakdown. Measuring 3 x 3 inches, it's ideal for individuals, caregivers, and clinicians who need reliable protection over shallow wounds while maintaining a comfortable, low-profile fit. Its hydrocolloid technology and vapor-permeable outer film work together to create the occlusive, moist environment that helps skin recover.

When applied, the hydrocolloid layer interacts with wound fluid to form a soft gel that keeps the wound bed moist while helping to protect it from friction, bacteria, and outside contamination. This moist wound-healing environment can promote more comfortable healing, while the breathable outer film allows moisture vapor to escape. Because the dressing is extra thin and conformable, it molds smoothly to body contours, stays discreet under clothing, and offers a secure, self-adhering hold for everyday wear.

This dressing is available as a single dressing or a convenient box of 20, so you can choose the quantity that fits your needs at home or in a care setting. The occlusive design and cushioned feel make it a practical choice for protecting delicate or healing skin. This item may be FSA/HSA eligible.
