Review on πŸ“¦ ConvaTec DuoDerm CGF 4x4 Control Gel Formula Dressing 10 - Pack of 2 Boxes by Kurt Bravo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Duoderm helps heal irritated areas depending on where and how the product is used.

The product is suitable for short-term use (2-3 days). The edges will curl and fold enough to encase sensitive skin in a pleated patch if left unaltered. Adhesion at the edges will be reduced if the patch gets wet while bathing/showering. Patch removal is tedious and requires the use of rubbing alcohol or witch hazel to remove the adhesive, often resulting in tearing of the delicate tissue and causing bleeding and irritation. Similar products with more Tegaderm rim are much better. Wound coverage is generally good, however wrinkles and rolled edges on the skin can be worse than with Tegaderm-type edge products. In addition, the adhesive sticks out at all edges and sticks to clothing, i.e. underwear, bed linen or bath towels. Although tegaderm edge products are more expensive, they are also much better.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
