Hydrocolloid Roll 5cm x 150cm wound dressing 🩹
Description:
This hydrocolloid wound dressing roll is a 5 cm by 150 cm self-adhesive tape that creates a moist healing environment to support recovery from cuts, blisters and minor burns. If you need a versatile, cut-to-size hydrocolloid wound dressing roll for first aid, this option offers waterproof protection and a hypoallergenic composition to keep wounds covered during everyday activities.
Key Points
The dressing contains carboxymethylcellulose microparticles that absorb exudate and form a gel layer on the wound surface, which helps maintain a moist environment according to the manufacturer. The material is latex-free and designed to be gentle on sensitive skin, reducing the risk of irritation during prolonged wear. Because the roll is semi-transparent and flexible, it adapts to joints and curved areas such as knees and elbows while allowing visual monitoring of the wound. You can shower, swim or exercise with the dressing in place thanks to its waterproof yet breathable structure. Note that for heavily exuding wounds a different, higher-absorbency dressing may be more appropriate.

Usage Recommendations
Cut the roll to the required shape and size so the dressing extends slightly beyond the wound margin to protect surrounding skin. Clean and dry the area before application for best adhesion, and press gently to ensure contact along the edges. Replace the patch when it lifts at the edges or if the gel becomes saturated. For post-surgical wounds or deep injuries, consult professional guidance as this product is intended for superficial and moderate exudate wounds.
Practical Tips
Because the roll is easy to customise, keep a small pair of scissors in your first aid kit to prepare patches on the go. The semi-transparent nature allows quick checks without full removal, which can reduce dressing changes and potential trauma to the wound. For long-term or recurrent use on sensitive areas apply and remove slowly to avoid skin strain. Two useful attributes to remember are the waterproof finish and breathability, which together allow normal daily routines with less interruption to wound care. 🩹🌊
