DuoDERM® Signal™ Dressing is a primary dressing for low-to-moderately exuding wounds. It can also be used as a secondary dressing to secure an AQUACEL® or AQUACEL® Ag Dressing. The European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP) and The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) guidelines recommend the usage of hydrocolloids for the management of pressure ulcers. DuoDERM® Signal™ Dressing can be used to manage stage I and stage II pressure ulcers.
Optimized Dressing Use -Dressings have a visual indicator which indicates when a dressing needs changing, reducing premature dressing changes. -A thin, smooth, low-friction backing is designed to reduce shearing that can prematurely dislodge the dressing. Protection -A thin polyurethane film provides a bacterialand viral barrier when the dressing remains intact and without leakage. -The film provides a waterproof barrier over the dressing. -It is easy to apply and can be removed without damaging newly formed tissue. -It helps to reduce bunching and the effect of shear through tapered edges and a smooth surface. -It helps to prevent damage to the wound bed on removal through a unique gelling action, ensuring maximum comfort. Ease of Application -The translucent backing enhances dressing placement and initial monitoring of the wound -The tapered edge contours to difficult areas -Areas subject to friction force, including the heels, buttocks, sacrum, elbows, and trochanters, are likely to develop wounds (or breakdown around wounds)3. -DuoDERM® Signal™ comes in various shapes designed to be placed in these difficult to dress areas.
