Description
Coloplast's Comfeel Plus 4x6 is a highly specialized hydrocolloid dressing designed to enhance wound care through advanced technology. Measuring 4 x 6 cm (1.5 x 2.5 inches), this dressing is crafted to support the healing of low to moderately exuding wounds by maintaining an optimal moist environment.
Key Features
- Moisture Management: The dressing absorbs wound exudate, forming a cohesive gel that does not adhere to the wound bed, thereby minimizing trauma during removal.
- Semi-Permeable Film: Equipped with a waterproof and bacteria-proof polyurethane top film, it allows moisture evaporation while protecting the wound, even during showering or bathing.
- Long Wear Time: Can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on wound characteristics, providing flexibility and comfort.
Design and Application
- Bevelled Edges: Designed with smooth, low-friction surfaces to reduce shearing and rolling.
- Mapping Grid: Includes a grid for wound monitoring and change indication.
- Non-Touch System: Features a 3-piece application system with turquoise touch points for aseptic and controlled application.
Composition
- Materials: Contains sodium carboxymethylcellulose and calcium alginate, free from pectin, latex, colophony, and animal derivatives.
- Transparent Variants: Some variants offer transparency for easy wound inspection.

- Chronic wounds such as leg ulcers and pressure ulcers
- Acute wounds like superficial burns, donor sites, and postoperative wounds

Application Guidelines
- Overlap: Should overlap the wound by approximately 2 cm for optimal adhesion.
