DuoDERM Signal Dressing

Optimized Dressing Use

• Dressings have a visual indicator which indicates when a dressing needs changing, reducing premature dressing changes.
• A thin, smooth, low-friction backing is designed to reduce shearing that can prematurely dislodge the dressing.

Protection

• A thin polyurethane film provides a bacterialand viral barrier when the dressing remains intact and without leakage.
• The film provides a waterproof barrier over the dressing.
• It is easy to apply and can be removed without damaging newly formed tissue.
• It helps to reduce bunching and the effect of shear through tapered edges and a smooth surface.
• It helps to prevent damage to the wound bed on removal through a unique gelling action, ensuring maximum comfort.

Ease of Application

• The translucent backing enhances dressing placement and initial monitoring of the wound
• The tapered edge contours to difficult areas

Areas subject to friction force, including the heels, buttocks, sacrum, elbows, and trochanters, are likely to develop wounds (or breakdown around wounds)³.

DuoDERM^® Signal™ comes in various shapes designed to be placed in these difficult to dress areas.
