Convatec Duoderm Hydroactive Gel, 3 X 30 gms

Liked too much

My elderly mother was diagnosed with stage 1 bedsores, basically bruising, by a dermatologist and 2 geriatric specialists. We saw a wound specialist for another issue and it occurred to me to ask for their expertise. The verdict was that not only was Mom's bruising not deep tissue damage but the recommended treatments were inappropriate and made her condition worse, including making her skin so dry & itchy that she clawed at the irritation wounding herself. She was hospitalized, again for an unrelated issue, and the hospital provided and recommended DuoDerm for these wounds. Due to their location on her buttocks is is difficult to keep any sort of dressing affixed and the thin skin tears and bleeds from the adhesive. The DuoDerm successfully covers the injuries and protects from moisture and sticking to her undergarments. We apply whenever her clothing is changed or she toilets. The improved healing is noticeable.

Useful for wound care and establishment of barrier for open wounds. Seems beneficial as a stand-alone product as well as under hydrocolloid dressing to prevent sticking. Will continue to experiment but glad I purchased.

This sealing gel seems too unknown. Perfect for a rash, cut or burn. It should be in everyone's first aid kit or personal go to medical kit. One tube lasts a long time. This is a very useful product that you just can ot find at drugstores.

DuoDERM lo recomiendo un excelente producto
