Description
Comfeel Plus is an advanced hydrocolloid dressing crafted by Coloplast, designed to enhance the healing process of low to moderately exuding wounds. Suitable for both chronic wounds, such as leg and pressure ulcers, and acute wounds like superficial burns and postoperative sites, this dressing provides a protective and conducive environment for recovery.
Key Features
-
Moisture Management: Comfeel Plus creates a moist wound environment that promotes healing while its semi-permeable top film allows for effective moisture evaporation, safeguarding the wound from water and bacteria.

Innovative Design: The dressing includes a mapping grid for easy wound monitoring and a 3-piece non-touch application system, ensuring aseptic handling even when gloves are used.
-
Comfort and Convenience: With options like Comfeel Plus Transparent, users can inspect wounds without removing the dressing. The smooth top film and bevelled edges reduce friction, enhancing comfort.
Composition
The dressing is composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) particles and calcium alginate for increased absorption, topped with a semi-permeable polyurethane film. It is free from common allergens such as pectin, latex, and colophony, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Application and Usage

Versatile Sizing: Available in various sizes and shapes, Comfeel Plus can be tailored to different wound types and locations, including challenging areas like the heel and elbow.
-
Long-Lasting Adhesion: It should overlap the wound by approximately 2 cm and can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on wound characteristics.
