The hydrocolloid dressing is a dressing that contains an active gel to absorb the fluid coming out of the wound, thus creating and maintaining a moist environment that promotes healing. There are different types of hydrocolloid dressings intended for multiple lesions. These dressings are different from others, they have a very specific mode of action. Their role will be to relieve while treating blisters , partridge eyes , calluses and onions … There is a bandage specially designed for each area. This so-called hydrocolloid technology accelerates wound healing and acts like a second skin.

COMPEED healing dressings promote moist wound healing and fit like a second skin on the wound.
Hydrocolloid particles (hydrating and protective active gel) in the Compeed dressing absorb fluid secreted naturally by the wound during healing. The dressing forms a protective pad (white layer) over the injured tissue to relieve the pressure in a durable manner and thereby reduce pain due to wound friction.
The pad protects the wound or wound and keeps it moist, without sticking to the wound. The outer layer of the dressing consists of a semi-occlusive polyurethane film that allows excess fluid to evaporate outward and retains only the fluid required for complete healing of the wound.
COMPEED® creates the optimal conditions for rapid healing of the blister and other types of wounds , irritations or skin wounds .
A wound treated with a conventional dressing provides so-called dry healing. After the onset of a wound, the healing process immediately begins: after any bleeding has stopped, the blood vessels dilate to release fluid and a number of cells necessary for cleaning the wound and repairing it. of the lesion, resulting in a moist environment more conducive to the functioning and development of the cells responsible for the healing process. At the end of this phase, the vessels will contract, stopping the leakage of liquid or exudate. This will cause the wound to dry out and promote the formation of a thick scab in order to protect the wound from external infections. The healing must therefore take place under the scab, which slows down the process, because the cells involved in healing need water for their functioning and regeneration. Healing in a dry environment is slow and can be more painful. With a hydrocolloid dressing, this is a wet wound healing. By absorbing and retaining the wound fluid, it is possible to maintain a level of humidity at the height of the wound while protecting it. This humid environment allows the "cleaning" cells to move more easily to the wound, reduce local inflammation and promote the production of collagen, a component of the skin. The cells involved in the healing process therefore develop better in a humid environment. Healing in a humid environment is faster and prevents the formation of a thick crust thus reducing the risk of scarring.
