Description
Comfeel Plus is a versatile hydrocolloid dressing expertly crafted for effective moist wound healing. It is particularly beneficial for managing a variety of wounds, including chronic conditions like leg ulcers and pressure ulcers, as well as acute wounds such as superficial burns, donor sites, postoperative wounds, and skin abrasions.
Moisture Management
The dressing features a semi-permeable polyurethane top film that allows for moisture evaporation while providing a barrier against water and bacteria. This design helps maintain an optimal moisture balance by absorbing exudate and forming a cohesive gel.
Composition
Comfeel Plus is composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) particles and calcium alginate, ensuring high absorption without the inclusion of pectin, latex, colophony, or animal derivatives.
Application Features
- Non-Touch System: A 3-piece non-touch application system with turquoise touch points for guided, aseptic application.
- Design: Smooth top film with bevelled edges to reduce friction and enhance comfort. A transparent version is available for easy wound inspection.
Additional Functionalities
- Mapping Grid: Assists in wound monitoring and indicates when a dressing change is needed.
- Flexibility: Elastic design for easy application and removal, even when wearing gloves.
Indications for Use
Ideal for low to moderately exuding wounds, Comfeel Plus can rehydrate necrotic tissue to support autolysis. It is recommended to overlap the wound by approximately 2 cm for optimal adhesion and can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on wound characteristics.
Protective Features
The dressing is suitable for use under masks and goggles to protect skin at risk. Available in various sizes, it offers a discrete and comfortable solution for wound care.
Key Benefits
- Healing Environment: Promotes faster healing by maintaining a moist environment and reducing dressing change frequency.

Contraindications
Not recommended for use on exposed muscle or bone and should be avoided by individuals sensitive to its components.
