Second Skin Protection XL Waterproof Dressings

Second Skin Protection Waterproof Dressings creates a moist environment that helps the wound heal faster. The Dressings also has a strong hold that lasts for at least 72 hours. Moreover, the dressing is ultra thin and two times more flexible*, which means it can adapt to your movements and provide optimal comfort and protection. The Elastoplast Second Skin Protection dressing is ideal for minor cuts, abrasions, and scratches.
At the heart of Elastoplast’s hydrocolloid wound dressing is a mechanism that helps accelerate healing with moist wound healing - the healing capsule. When the hydrocolloid particles (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) come into contact with wound fluid (exudate), they absorb the exudate and form a viscous gel which may be visible as a ‘healing capsule’, an opaque bubble that can appear over the wound. This bubble maintains a moist microenvironment, conditions which are optimal for wound healing. In the video you can see how the healing capsule is accelerating the healing process.
Moist wound healing has several benefits over dry wound healing, such as preventing the formation of a crust or a scab, accelerating the natural healing process, and reducing the risk of scarring. Moist wound healing can improve the healing process and the cosmetic outcome for patients.
