DuoDermExtra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing 10cm x 10cm - by ConvaTec

Good

Excellent and debride slough etc as they state .

I’ve used this for various bits over the years. I first used this brand when my sister gave me some that she’d been given at the hospital. They are brilliant. You heal so much quicker with these and it really does limit the scaring. Recently my daughter injured her foot so I was using them to help protect it and heal faster. As it was the side of her foot she was going through plaster a lot quicker so I did buy a couple of couple brands to see if I could save some pennies. The two other brands, the colour was nicer and blended in better visually to the skin but certainly did not adhere as well as these. They also had limited ‘give’ in movement so very quickly ‘bubbled’ up and exposed the injury to the air.Also a number of years ago my husband had to had surgery on his wound ‘packed’ daily. It was a very large a deep wound and at the time I didn’t realise what these type of plaster were or did. His would filled in quickly but towards the end he run out of these types of plaster and I stupidly just bought large normal plasters from the chemist as that’s all they had in and at that point the wound ‘dried’ and formed scar tissue. I honestly believe if I’d realised what the plasters were at the time and I’d used hydrocolloid plasters he would not have the scarred as he did, and it would have been much much smaller.

These plasters have worked well for me especially when having cracked fingers. They blend in with skin colour and work well. Will definitely purchase again.

In our house these are a first aid kit staple.......if you have fragile skin or run into problems with the sticky stuff they use on plasters them these dressings are a god send....not only do they encourage healing they are gentle on removal and don't cause skin tear or reaction.

My hubby was given a packet of these sheets by dermatology for a recurring problem on his fingers. You put a little of the ointment supplied by the doctor on the sore areas, then wrap enough of the sheet around the finger, adding a little more if needed, and then I close my fingers and hand around the whole thing and hold it in this position for a couple of minutes. The warmth of my hand seals the sheet to his finger, keeping it sterile while the ointment and the benefits of the impregnated sheet do their work. Absolutely brilliant thing!

Arrived on time great product

Unless you’ve worked with neonatal babies or sick children you’re unlikely to know how amazing this stuff is. It’s such a versatile dressing that can be used in almost any injury/cut/burn etc. Promotes healing, reduces scarring, doesn’t lift of peel and doesn’t cause any irritation. It is truely an unsung hero in the dressing world and everyone I’ve introduced to it loves it as much as I do. Also, a little to to remove - don’t try and peel it off, grab the dressing from both sides and stretch it out and it will come away from the skin with no trauma to the area.
