DuoDerm Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing, 6 x 7 Inch Triangle

ConvaTec DuoDerm Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing, 6 x 7 Inch Triangle

The ConvaTec DuoDerm Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing is a thin, flexible wound dressing designed to protect and manage superficial to lightly draining wounds. Cut in a 6 x 7 inch triangle shape to conform to hard-to-dress areas like the sacrum, heels, and elbows, it's ideal for anyone caring for pressure injuries, minor burns, abrasions, or post-surgical skin at home or in a clinical setting. Its slim profile provides discreet, comfortable coverage while supporting the body's natural healing process.

DuoDerm Extra Thin works by combining a hydrocolloid wound-contact layer with a vapor-permeable outer film that creates an occlusive, moist wound environment shown to encourage healing. As the dressing interacts with wound fluid, it helps maintain optimal moisture at the wound bed while the outer film acts as a barrier against bacteria and external contaminants. The extra-thin construction flexes with the body for a secure, low-bulk fit that stays put during daily activities.

This dressing is available in a Single unit or a Box of 10, so you can order the quantity that fits your care routine. The triangle shape measures 6 x 7 inches for reliable coverage of contoured body areas. Home medical wound-care supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible.
