DuoDERM Signal Dressing

DuoDERM Signal Dressing redefines wound care with smart hydrocolloid technology designed for patients and clinicians seeking precision healing. Unlike standard dressings, its color-changing indicator visually signals when exudate absorption is complete, eliminating guesswork and reducing skin irritation from premature changes.

How It Works:

The dressing’s hydrocolloid matrix absorbs wound fluid, forming a gel that maintains optimal moisture balance. This autolytic debridement process gently removes dead tissue while protecting delicate new skin. Its breathable, waterproof barrier allows showers and daily activities without compromising adhesion.

Key Clinical Benefits:

• Diabetic Ulcer Care: Reduces infection risk with secure, conformable edges that stay intact even on high-friction areas.
• Pressure Sore Management: Distributes exudate evenly to prevent periwound maceration (common with alginate dressings).
• Time-Saving: Fewer dressing changes vs. traditional gauze , up to 7 days of wear time for chronic wounds.

Patient-Centered Design:

DuoDERM Signal’s ultra-thin, flexible material moves naturally with joints, while its gentle adhesive minimizes trauma during removal. For caregivers, the clear border allows easy wound inspection without disturbing the dressing.

Trusted in Healthcare Settings:

Hospitals and home care providers rely on DuoDERM Signal for predictable, cost-effective wound healing. Backed by ConvaTec’s clinical research, it’s proven to reduce pain and improve outcomes for patients with:

• Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs)
• Stage II-IV pressure injuries
• Post-operative wounds
• Minor burns
