Description

Comfeel Plus Transparent is an advanced hydrocolloid dressing crafted by Coloplast, designed to enhance the healing process of various wound types. Its transparent and flexible nature makes it ideal for managing none to low exuding wounds, including chronic conditions like leg ulcers and pressure ulcers, as well as acute wounds such as superficial burns and skin abrasions.

Key Features

• Moisture Management: The dressing maintains an optimal moist environment, crucial for natural wound healing.
• Protection: Its semi-permeable polyurethane top film is both waterproof and bacteria-proof, safeguarding the wound while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
• Transparency: Enables easy inspection of the wound without the need to remove the dressing.

Innovative Design

The dressing includes a printed mapping grid to assist with wound monitoring, indicating when a change is necessary. Its non-touch application system, featuring a 3-piece design with turquoise touch points, allows for aseptic and controlled application even with gloves.

Adaptability

Comfeel Plus Transparent is thin, elastic, and easily conforms to body contours. It can be cut to fit specific areas, making it suitable for locations prone to friction such as the cheek, nose, or forehead. The dressing forms a viscous gel upon contact with wound exudate, ensuring it does not adhere to the wound bed while absorbing moisture effectively.

User-Friendly Features

• Bevelled Edges: Smooth edges reduce friction and prevent roll-up.
• Packaging: Includes life-size product photos and illustrated instructions for ease of use.

Composition

The absorbent layer consists of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) particles within a hydrocolloid matrix. The formulation excludes pectin, latex, colophony, and animal derivatives, with some variants offering calcium alginate for enhanced absorption.

Available Sizes

The dressing is available in various sizes, ranging from 5 x 7 cm to 20 x 20 cm, with packaging options that include individual dressings or boxes of 5 or 10.

Application & Precautions

Comfeel Plus Transparent is not suitable for infected wounds, third-degree burns, or heavily exuding wounds. It should be applied with care, particularly on fragile skin, and can remain in place for up to 7 days depending on wound characteristics. Removal is designed to be gentle, minimizing disturbance to the healing process.
