Wound dressings: DUODERM, AQUACEL
Duoderm wound dressings are sterile hydrostatic ydropolymeres hydrocolloid pads consisting of two layers:
a. The inner layer which contacts the wound and is composed of hydrophilic polymer components (polysaccharides) such as:
- gelatin (collagen and other proteins) pectin,
- cellulose (alginikis origin mainly from brown seaweed), joined in an adhesive polymer.
b. The outer waterproof layer of polyurethane sponge.
The hydrostatic components of Duoderm dressing
- interact with the wet wound,
- create a humid environment,
- forme a jelly surface for accelerating and stabilizing the process of healing,
- promote epithelialization and epitachynontastin angiogenesis.
