Ourmed Hydrocolloid Dressing 5cm x 5cm, 10 pack 🩹
Description:
These hydrocolloid dressings are a discreet option for managing light exudate from blisters, minor cuts and superficial wounds. They create a moist healing environment while remaining comfortable and thin, making them suitable for everyday wound care and skin protection during showers.
Key Points
The 5 cm x 5 cm squares are extra thin at 0.3 mm, so they lie flat against the skin and are less visible under clothing. The adhesive stays pliable and is designed to remain in place for several days, helping to reduce dressing changes and limit disturbance to the wound. The dressing forms a viscous gel as it absorbs exudate, which helps protect the wound from external contaminants and may help reduce pain during healing. For skin prone to acne or small superficial wounds, the film covers the lesion without sticking to the wound surface, making removal easier and reducing secondary damage. 😊
Benefits
These patches allow discreet protection while supporting a moist wound-healing environment, which can speed the process in some cases. The waterproof outer layer means light showers will not necessarily require immediate replacement, and breathability helps prevent maceration when used correctly. The extra thin profile improves comfort and reduces bulk when applied to fingers or joints, and the pliable adhesive adapts to movement without peeling prematurely. Note that they are intended for light exudate and may not be suitable for heavily draining wounds, according to the manufacturer. ⚕️

Usage Recommendations
Clean and dry the surrounding skin before applying to improve adhesion and reduce infection risk. Peel the backing and place the dressing centrally over the wound, smoothing edges to avoid trapping air. Replace the dressing when the pad becomes saturated or if it lifts at the edges. For removing, lift gently from the edge and pull back slowly to minimise skin trauma. If there is increased pain, heavy exudate, signs of infection or if the wound does not improve, seek professional advice. 🩹
