Who Uses the Coloplast Comfeel Plus Hydrocolloid Dressing? Individuals with leg and pressure ulcers, pressure sores, donor sites, skin abrasions, and partial thickness superficial burns.
Why They Love It: When the dressing comes in contact with wound exudate, it creates a gel that absorbs the drainage without sticking to the wound. It can last up to a week depending on the wound. It effectively seals wounds from bacteria or other infection-causing microorganisms. Made of breathable material, the dressing allows excess moisture to evaporate. It is available in squares or sacral shapes to best fit different locations on the body.

Coloplast Comfeel Plus Ulser Dressing Overview
Comfeel Plus Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing treats low to moderately exuding acute and chronic wounds. The semi-permeable hydrocolloid dressing helps with the final stages of wound healing using calcium alginate to form a gel as it absorbs exudate without sticking to the wound. The dressing also provides the wound with a moist environment during the healing process. The semi-permeable top film helps unwanted moisture evaporate. This allows the wound to breathe and reduces further damage to the skin. Its waterproof layer keeps infection-causing bacteria away. Comfeel Plus is available in square or sacral shapes to best suit the shape of the wound. The hydrocolloid dressing may be used as a primary or secondary dressing. Please consult a medical professional for treatment recommendations.

Long Wear-Time
A grid serves as a visible indicator of how much exudate the dressing has absorbed and when it is time to replace the dressing. This reduces the frequency of changes, causing less disturbance to the wound to support healing. According to the manufacturer, the bandage can stay on for up to 7 days depending on the type of wound.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this a primary or secondary dressing?
The Comfeel Plus Dressing can be used as either a primary or secondary dressing.
How does it work?
When the dressing interacts with the wound, it forms a gel that absorbs the exudate to prevent maceration and support healing.
Does it contain pectin?
No, this dressing is not made with pectin. Instead, sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) particles work with calcium alginate to maximize the dressing’s absorption.
Is it difficult to remove?
No. When it’s time to change, gently stretch along the edges until the dressing loosens and is ready to lift off.
Will it stick to my clothes?
The dressing has beveled edges which help prevent it from sticking to clothes or other materials which could otherwise cause it to fall off.
