User questions & answers

Question:	Can it be worn in pool
Answer:	Hydrocolloid dressings are designed to be left on for several days, typically between 3-7 (this is only in general; individual manufacturers may recommend a slightly different timeframe). However, this is only advisable if the dressing remains fully intact, less than 70% saturated and the wound is NOT infected. If the dressing is becomes detached for ANY reason (Eg: Falls completely off, starts to peel at the corner, or is intentionally removed), it’s considered “compromised” and must be disposed of. NEVER PUT IT BACK ON.
Question:	Do these protect against sun rays
Answer:	Yes it stayed on without any problems at all.
Question:	I use hydrocolloid for pimples &was looking for lg ones. Is the patch all Hydrocolloid or just in the middle with a sticky part it like a bandaid
Answer:	I think so.
Question:	Size of bandage
Answer:	What is the DIAMETER OF THE LID for a 32-ounce cup. I don't think the previous questioner was asking for the number of ounces it would hold. I also need to know the diameter.

Conkote Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressings

Conkote hydrocolloid dressing are made with hydrocolloid, which has good performance on liquid absorption, compliance and stickiness.

Working principle of hydrocolloid:

The hydrocolloid dressing absorbs wound exudate and forms a cohesive gel, which provides a moist healing environment for the wound, improves the regeneration capacity of wound granulation tissue, promotes the division and migration of epithelial cells, accelerates wound healing, and is not easy to leave scars.

Tips:

Frequency of Change

1. When the dressing color changes to reach a saturated state.

2. In the event of a leakage, if the dressing is uncomfortable for the patient.

3. Hydrocolloid Dressings need to be changed every three to seven days, dependent on patient exudate levels.

Cautions

1. Don't use for full thickness burn wound.

2. Don't use for patients with a known allergy to hydrocolloid dressings.

3.Single-use proudct for each piece, do not reuse it.

Question:	I have a large wound with open skin. i fell down the steps. if i remove it it’s going to tear up the skin. help
Answer:	Yes, you put directly on pressure wound. Follow directions right on box. No gauze as others gave recommended. As a retired nurse, we use these quite often for ulcers but you should do so after doctor consult. I am presently using these and other similar patches on a ulcer I currently have. You are defeating the purpose of these patches using gauze or ointments. Takes time usually to heal ulcers.

User questions & answers

Question:	How well do they hold up in a shower
Answer:	I used the pad on my underarm (cyst that drained) and I admit it hurt peeling it off. It didn’t do well by itself for a draining area. The drainage built up behind the pad. I cut gauze sponge pads smaller than the pad for the drainage. The pads do stay on well. The sticky is on the whole side of the pad and it does cover (touch) the wound. A less sensitive area of skin may have not hurt as much peeling it off.
Question:	Do they work on blisters
Answer:	Never had the issue of ir taken so long.
Question:	Is this good good pressure sore
Answer:	It is self adhesive, but not meant to hold a lot of drainage. This is for superficial wounds with mild drainage.
Question:	How many come in this package I don't see any numbers so I am assuming there is only one in this particular package
Answer:	As a 20 year wound care nurse, I can tell you, this would not be a good dressing for a moderate to heavily draining wound (typically seen with a leg ulcer, especially with leg swelling) . This bandage is for shallow, lightly draining wounds.
