DuoDERM® CGF® dressing

DuoDERM® CGF® dressing

DuoDERM® CGF® (Controlled Gel Formulation) is an adherent dressing indicated for the management of exuding wounds.

HEALING

  • Promotes granulation and facilitates autolytic debridement1,2
  • Autolytic debridement removes necrotic tissue as quickly as enzymatic debridement1,3,4.

Evidence-based action plans for hydrating dry wounds include creation of a moist wound environment to prevent wound drying and to allow autolytic debridement to occur5.

EASE OF USE

  • DuoDERM® dressings can be worn for up to seven days
  • Highly conformable – can be easily and gently molded into place
