Suprasorb® H Hydrocolloid Dressing has a two layer construction composed of an absorbent hydrocolloid matrix laminated to a breathable polyurethane flm backing. Hydrocolloid matrix rapidly absorbs exudate to form a cohesive gel. In addition to excellent absorbency, the breathable polyurethane flm backing provides a consistently high rate of moisture vapor transmission. Together, these features ensure an optimal moist wound environment, minimize the chance for damage to healthy peri-wound skin and provide wear time for up to seven days.
A wound covering, typically made of a hydrocolloid, hydrofibre, or alginate (salts and acids extracted from seaweed), intended to produce a water-absorbent gel upon contact with wound exudate; it does not contain an antimicrobial agent. The device assists in wound healing by absorbing exudate in wounds (e.g., ulcers, burns, surgical wounds, lacerations, abrasions) for minimal wound maceration, allowing wound debridement, and creating a moist wound-healing environment. The device may be in the form of a flat sheet/film, ribbon, rope, foam, liquid, paste, or powder. After application, this device cannot be reused.
