Nu-Derm Bordered & Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing

Sterile dressings with polyurethane film backing designed to promote a moist wound environment - encouraging natural debridement and enabling granulation under optimal conditions. The dressing material interacts with wound exudate to form a soft gel. The matrix formulation of the hydrocolloid is more absorptive and maintains integrity allowing it to be removed with the dressing, with little or no damage to newly formed tissue. Skin-friendly adhesive offers immediate attachment. Highly flexible to conform to body contours. Patented tapered edges minimize the risk of dressing roll-up. Semi-transparent, to assist dressing placement. Protects wound from exogenous bacteria. Dressing border is a continuation of the skin-friendly hydrocolloid adhesive material. Indicated for use as a primary dressing for low to moderately exuding wounds, including decubitus ulcers, diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, abrasions, lacerations, surgical wounds. Waterproof , latex-free. Sterile
Nurse's Notes:This is newer product and current version of Johnson and Johnson's hydrocolloid dressing. Some good qualitites include tapered edges, waterproof polyurethane film backing and special contour shape for heels and elbows. Uncertain as to how it compares to popular Duoderm product but note that it is significantly cheaper.

Product Description
NU-DERM Hydrocolloid Dressing is a sterile hydrocolloid wound dressing designed to maintain a moist wound environment. A moist wound environment supports the wound healing process by encouraging autolytic debridement, thus enabling granulation to proceed under optimum conditions. The dressing material interacts with wound exudates to form a soft gel. Due to the matrix formulation of the hydrocolloid material, most of the gel is removed together with the dressing, resulting in little or no damage to the newly formed tissue.

NU-DERM Hydrocolloid Dressing consists of a wound contact layer of hydrocolloids. The top layer is either a semi-permeable polyurethane film (NU-DERM Border Hydrocolloid Dressing and NU-DERM Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing), or a film-coated polyurethane foam (NU-DERM Alginate Dressing).

The NU-DERM Border Hydrocolloid Dressing product is conformable, has a top layer of low-friction film, and has beveled edges all around the product. The border itself is a continuation of the skin-friendly hydrocolloid adhesive material.

The NU-DERM Alginate Dressing product has a top layer of foam, rounded corners, and is uniform in thickness.

The semi-transparent NU-DERM Thin Dressing product, which is conformable and has a top layer of low-friction film, allows close and easy monitoring of the wound bed without dressing removal.

The dressings are waterproof and remain in place during showering. They protect the wound against bacterial contamination.

Indications
NU-DERM Border Hydrocolloid Dressing and NU-DERM Alginate Dressing are primarily indicated for the management of light to moderately exuding pressure sores and leg ulcers.

NU-DERM Thin Dressing is primarily indicated for the management of superficial dry/light exuding wounds, post-operative wounds, and superficial wounds and abrasions. It is also useful on small wounds towards the end of the healing phase.

Precautions
NU-DERM Hydrocolloid Dressing is not indicated for use on the following dermal ulcers involving:

 

  • Muscle, tendon and exposed bone
  • Consult a physician prior to using NU-DERM Hydrocolloid Dressing on lesions caused by tuberculosis, syphilis or deep fungal infections, cancer and wounds at high risk of infection.
  • Third-degree burns
  • Clinically infected wounds
