Description
Comfeel Plus by Coloplast is an advanced hydrocolloid dressing designed to enhance wound care through its innovative features. This soft and comfortable dressing is ideal for managing a variety of low to moderately exuding wounds, including chronic conditions like leg ulcers and pressure ulcers, as well as acute wounds such as superficial burns and postoperative wounds.
Key Features
- Moisture Management: Comfeel Plus creates an optimal moist environment that promotes effective wound healing while protecting the wound from external contaminants.
- Protective Top Film: The dressing features a water- and bacteria-proof semi-permeable polyurethane top film that reduces friction and allows moisture evaporation, ensuring the wound remains secure and dry.
- Flexible Design: Its flexibility allows it to conform to body contours and be cut to fit specific areas, making it suitable for use under masks and goggles in healthcare settings.
Application Benefits
- Non-Touch Application System: The 3-piece non-touch application system with turquoise touch points ensures aseptic and controlled application, even when wearing gloves.
- Ease of Use: The dressing is easy to apply and remove, minimizing disruption to the wound site. The transparent variant allows for wound inspection without removal, providing continuous monitoring.
Composition
The absorbent core of Comfeel Plus consists of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) particles and calcium alginate, forming a viscous gel upon contact with wound exudate. This gel absorbs excess moisture without adhering to the wound bed, while the top film facilitates evaporation, maintaining a stable healing environment.
Application Guidelines
For optimal results, apply Comfeel Plus to clean, dry skin with a margin extending 2–2.5 cm beyond the wound edge. Secure the dressing by holding it in place with the palm of the hand, avoiding overstretching to prevent skin trauma. If needed, additional securing can be done with adhesive tape or a retention bandage.
Precautions
Comfeel Plus should not be used on wounds with exposed muscle or bone, or by individuals sensitive to its ingredients. For infected wounds or those related to arterial insufficiency or diabetes, daily inspection is recommended.
Available Sizes
Comfeel Plus is available in various sizes and shapes, including contour and sacral formats, all individually wrapped and sterilized to meet diverse wound care needs. This comprehensive design ensures that Comfeel Plus remains a reliable choice for both personal and professional healthcare environments.
