DuoDerm Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing, 4 x 6 Inch Oval

ConvaTec DuoDerm Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing, 4 x 6 Inch Oval

The ConvaTec DuoDerm Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing is a thin, flexible wound dressing designed to protect and support the healing of superficial wounds, minor abrasions, and areas prone to friction or pressure. Measuring 4 x 6 inches in a conforming oval shape, it's ideal for anyone caring for light-to-moderately exuding wounds at home or in a clinical setting who wants a low-profile dressing that stays discreet under clothing.

DuoDerm Extra Thin works by creating an occlusive, moist wound environment that supports the body's natural healing process while helping to cushion the wound from outside contact. Its vapor-permeable outer film allows moisture vapor to escape while acting as a barrier to keep out water and contaminants. The hydrocolloid layer gently adheres to intact skin and conforms to body contours, so the dressing flexes with movement and can remain in place for extended wear, reducing the need for frequent changes.

This dressing is available as a single dressing or a convenient Box of 10, so you can order the quantity that fits your needs del below. The thin profile makes it comfortable and virtually invisible under clothing, and hydrocolloid wound-care supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible.
