Hydrocolloid dressing is a type of elastic dressing made of medical pressure-sensitive adhesive with CMC (carbox methyl cellulose) hydrophilic granules.
When it absorbs the exudate and forms a layer of moist gel on the wounds, prevents the leakage of exudate after swelling.

Wound knowledge: chronic wound pain
Increasing prevalence of chronic wounds, more and more research has been done on chronic wound management. For wound healing, we should no longer only focus on its healing speed, but also pay attention to the pain sensation of patients. Severe pain will limit Daily activities and the process of wound healing can even cause serious psychological problems such as anxiety and depression in patients.

Strictly speaking, scars are unavoidable, but there are some methods that can have a positive impact on the formation of scars, so that after the wound heals It's not so obvious, so what should we do, let's take a look with me below.
How to effectively treat hyper granulation tissue on wounds?
Hypergranulation tissue on wounds refers to the excessive growth of granulation tissue during wound healing. In this condition, the granulation tissue tends to be larger and thicker than normal and may become overly proliferative, compromising wound healing. Therefore, for hyper granulation tissue on wounds, treatment is required to promote wound healing.
How to choose a wound dressing that suits you to maintain moisture balance?
