DuoDERM CGF dressing is a hydrocolloid, moisture-retentive wound dressing used for partial and full-thickness wounds with exudate. It incorporates a unique ConvaTec hydrocolloid formulation that distinguishes it from other hydrocolloid dressings. DuoDERM CGF dressing is indicated for use on dermal ulcers including full-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers (Stage II-IV), leg ulcers, superficial wounds, partial thickness burns and donor sites. Protects against harmful bacteria and viruses such as HBV (11) and HIV (11). While the dressing remains intact and without leakage, the use of DuoDERM dressing neither guarantees nor warrants against the transmission of HIV or HBV 11.

DuoDERM CGF (controlled gel formulation) creates an occlusive moist wound environment which promotes healing of low to moderately exuding wounds1,2. On contact with a moist wound surface, the unique hydrocolloid composition of DuoDERM CGF dressing (sodium carboxymethylcellulose, gelatin, pectin and adhesive polymers) forms a cohesive gel which supports moist wound healing 1,2, aids autolytic debridement 2 and promotes granulation 2. Provides a bacterial and viral barrier 3.

DuoDERM CGF dressing keeps nerve endings moist, which helps provide relief from discomfort and pain 4,5,6. The dressing is easy to apply and remove, allowing non-traumatic removal of the dressing without damaging newly formed tissue 6,7. With a wear time of up to 7 days DuoDERM CGF dressing can contribute to cost-effective care 7.

Before using the dressing, clean the wound area with a wound cleansing agent or normal saline and dry the surrounding skin. The size of the dressing to be applied to the wound should extend at least 1-1/4 in. (3.2cm) beyond the edges of the wound. 1. Remove the release paper from the back of the dressing being careful to minimize finger contact with the adhesive surface. 2. Hold the dressing over the wound and line up the center of the dressing with the center of the wound. 3. Gently roll the dressing into place over the wound. 4. Mold the dressing into place with your hand. 5. Secure the edges of the dressing with medical or adhesive tape, if extra security is desired. 6. Discard any unused portion of the product after dressing the wound. Note: The dressing should be inspected frequently for leakage and bunching/rolling up of edges. If any of these occur, the dressing should be changed. As wound fluid is absorbed by the dressing, gel formation may be visible on the outer surface of the dressing. Removal of the Dressing: Press down on the skin with one hand and carefully lift an edge of the dressing with your other hand. Gently roll off of the wound.
