Hydrocolloids are waterproof, as long as the edges dont lift . Its great for blisters and doesnt dry wound out

Warm the dressing in the palm of your hands to help adhesion

Hydrocolloids especially thicker one dont stick well around curves so use tape

To pull off -stretch the dressing . The wound underneath may be smelly and wet, but cleans up nicely. Do not use on infected , highly oozing or ischaemic wounds. Change every 2-7 days.

Wipe on top of tape and then lift and wipe at tape edge where you are pulling. Wait a moment and pull up some more.
