Additional Information for Hydrocolloidal Granules
Hydrocolloidal granules are a type of wound dressing that falls under the supply class Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies. These granules are made up of hydrocolloid materials, which are substances that form a gel-like consistency when they come into contact with wound exudate (fluid).
Hydrocolloidal granules are commonly used in the management of chronic wounds, such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and venous leg ulcers. They are designed to create a moist wound environment, which promotes healing by facilitating the natural wound healing process.
When applied to a wound, hydrocolloidal granules absorb excess exudate from the wound bed, while also providing a protective barrier against external contaminants. As the granules absorb the exudate, they form a gel-like substance that conforms to the shape of the wound, promoting wound healing and reducing the risk of infection.
Hydrocolloidal granules are available in various sizes and can be used on both shallow and deep wounds. They are typically applied directly to the wound bed and covered with a secondary dressing, such as a foam or film dressing, to provide additional protection and maintain a moist environment.
It is important to note that hydrocolloidal granules should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as they may not be suitable for all types of wounds. Additionally, proper wound cleansing and dressing changes should be performed according to healthcare provider instructions to ensure optimal wound healing.
