DuoDerm | Shop Our Wide Range of DuoDerm Products

DuoDerm is the brand name for a commonly used hydrocolloid dressing manufactured by ConvaTec that is used to treat bed sores (or similarly referred to as: pressure sores, pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers). Hydrocolloid dressings have gel-like properties to absorb excretions from the wound and protect the wound debris and potentially infection causing bacteria. Hydrocolloid dressings help the wound to auto typically debride itself (the body uses its own enzymes to break down dead tissue as opposed to surgically removing it). One of the reasons DuoDerm dressings are so popular is because they will not stick to the wound bed itself and can be removed without tearing the granulation tissue underneath. Duoderm dressings are best applied to wounds that produce light to medium exudate or transudate.
