ActivHeal® Hydrocolloid consists of a thin layer of hydrocolloid laminated to a highly breathable film, in addition to this ActivHeal® Hydrocolloid Foam Backed has a polyurethane foam backing which provides a cushion to aid patient comfort and protection to the wound.
ActivHeal® Hydrocolloid is indicated for use on wounds with a light to moderate level of exudate including:
- Pressure ulcers
- Venous leg ulcers
- Diabetic ulcers
- Post operative surgical wounds
- Abrasions and lacerations
- Can also be used on cavity wounds when used as a secondary dressing
ActivHeal® Hydrocolloid absorbs exudate into the hydrocolloid matrix and transpires wound fluid through the breathable outer layer. This combination enhances the total fluid handling capacity of the dressing whilst also ensuring that moisture is regulated within the wound.
