Description
Comfeel Plus, crafted by Coloplast, is an advanced hydrocolloid dressing designed to enhance moist wound healing. Ideal for both chronic and acute wounds, it serves effectively for low to moderately exuding wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, superficial burns, and postoperative wounds. Its versatility allows it to function as either a primary or secondary dressing, with the capability to remain in place for up to seven days, depending on the wound's condition.
Key Features
- Moisture Management: Comfeel Plus maintains an optimal healing environment by forming a viscous gel upon contact with wound exudate. This gel does not adhere to the wound bed, ensuring gentle care.
- Protection: The dressing features a water- and bacteria-proof polyurethane top film, safeguarding the wound while allowing moisture evaporation.
- Design: Its smooth, semi-permeable surface reduces friction, and the thin bevelled edges provide comfort and discretion, minimizing the risk of the dressing rolling off.
Application Benefits
- Ease of Use: Equipped with a 3-piece non-touch application system, Comfeel Plus ensures aseptic and controlled application. Turquoise touch points guide placement, making it user-friendly even with gloves.
- Monitoring: The dressing includes a mapping grid for wound monitoring, and the transparent version allows inspection without removal, indicating when a change is needed.
Composition
- Materials: Contains moisture-absorbing sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) particles and calcium alginate for enhanced absorption. The transparent variant is free from pectin, latex, colophony, and animal derivatives.
Precautions
- Usage Guidelines: It is recommended to overlap the wound by about 2 cm. Change frequency should align with wound conditions, ideally under healthcare supervision.
- Contraindications: Not suitable for wounds with exposed muscle or bone, or for individuals sensitive to its components.
Available Sizes
Comfeel Plus is available in various shapes and sizes, including sacral designs, to accommodate different body parts. This adaptability, along with its comprehensive features, makes it a reliable choice for protecting vulnerable skin and fostering effective wound healing.
