Hydrocolloids are the most popular advanced dressing for home and ward use. Here's how to choose between ConvaTec's two flagships.
Why hydrocolloids?
They absorb light-to-moderate exudate into a gel, keep the wound moist, are waterproof when intact, and lift away without damaging new tissue — fewer, gentler changes.
DuoDERM Extra Thin
DuoDERM Extra Thin 10x10cm is low-profile and flexible — ideal for dry to lightly exuding wounds, Stage I–II pressure areas and protecting fragile skin.
DuoDERM CGF
DuoDERM CGF 10x10cm (Control Gel Formula) is thicker with more absorbency for light-to-moderate exudate and deeper partial/full-thickness wounds.
How to pick
Dry/shallow → Extra Thin. More fluid/deeper → CGF. Unsure of size or quantity? Send an enquiry and we'll advise.
