Description

Comfeel Plus Transparent is a versatile hydrocolloid wound dressing crafted by Coloplast A/S, designed to enhance moist wound healing while providing robust protection for wounds and vulnerable skin. Its application is well-suited for a variety of none to low exuding wounds, including chronic conditions like leg ulcers and pressure ulcers, as well as acute wounds such as superficial burns and postoperative sites.

Key Features

• Discretion and Flexibility: The dressing is thin, flexible, and transparent, allowing for easy inspection of the wound without removal. This transparency aids in monitoring the healing process while minimizing disruption.

• Barrier Protection: Equipped with a semi-permeable polyurethane top film, it effectively prevents bacteria and water ingress while allowing moisture evaporation, thus maintaining an optimal moist environment for wound healing.

• Innovative Design: The dressing forms a viscous gel upon contact with wound exudate, ensuring it does not adhere to the wound bed. This feature supports wound closure by reducing the need for frequent dressing changes.

• Application System: A 3-piece non-touch application system with turquoise touch points ensures aseptic and controlled application, making it easy to apply and remove, even when wearing gloves.

Versatility

Comfeel Plus Transparent can be used on any part of the body, including areas prone to friction such as the cheek, nose, and forehead. It can also be used under masks and goggles to protect at-risk skin, adhering to local guidelines.

Customization

The dressing can be cut to fit specific areas, providing tailored protection and comfort. Available in various sizes, it comes in packaging options that include individual pieces or boxes of 5 or 10, with life-size photos and usage illustrations for guidance.

Composition

The hydrocolloid matrix comprises sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) particles, complemented by a semi-permeable polyurethane top film. It is free from pectin, latex, colophony, and animal derivatives, ensuring safety and compatibility for a wide range of users.

Usage and Storage

Each dressing can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on wound characteristics, offering prolonged protection and convenience. It should be stored at room temperature and can typically be disposed of with household waste, unless local regulations dictate otherwise.
