Who Uses this Product? Coloplast Triad Hydrophilic Wound Dressing is used by anyone needing an alternative wound dressing because the wound's type, location, or irregular surface makes it difficult to dress with traditional products.
Why They Love It: The zinc-oxide paste with dimethicone adds a protective layer that acts as a substitute for a primary dressing to accommodate any shape and surface area. The hydrophilic paste spreads directly over the wound and not only adds protection but keeps out bacteria while maintaining an optimal wound healing environment.
Coloplast Triad Hydrophilic Wound Dressing Overview
Triad Hydrophilic Wound Dressing is a topical paste that dresses and protects the wound when traditional dressings wont work. Since a primary dressing has direct contact with the wound, there are wound types or locations that necessitate a paste alternative. This can be because the wound is located next to a joint, or it can be that a dressing will add pain and trauma when there is direct contact. In these scenarios, Triad Paste is the ideal hydrophilic solution for wound healing. This hydrogel is easy to apply on low- to moderate-exudate wounds and contains ingredients that moisturize the peri-wound and promote healing.

Maintains Optimal Wound Healing Environment
Zinc oxide is known for its UV protection in sunscreen, but these protective qualities reach even farther. Zinc oxide reduces skin irritation and also has antibacterial properties to stop infection, allowing the cells to regenerate.1 Together with dimethicone, these two ingredients add a protective layer to ward off outside contamination and keep the wound moisturized. Triad Hydrophilic Wound Dressing Paste spreads evenly, creating an optimal moist healing environment and maximizing the surface coverage for difficult wounds.
