Designed to reduce the risk of further skin breakdown due to friction. DuoDERM® Extra Thin Dressing can be used as a primary hydrocolloid dressing for dry to lightly exuding wounds. It can be used as a secondary dressing to secure an AQUACEL® Dressing or an AQUACEL® Ag Dressing. The European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP) and The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) guidelines recommend the usage of hydrocolloids for the management of pressure ulcers. DuoDERM® Extra Thin Dressing can be used to manage stage I and stage II pressure ulcers.
