wounds and dressing can be removed without causing pain and without damaging the granulation and
epithelial tissue. while the polyethylene foam backing work as a cushioning decreasing the pressure and
friction on the injured area which help to relief the pain .

When the Pharmacoll® dressing comes into contact with wound exudates, the hydrocolloid swells and forms a gel that covers the wound and maintains moisture. This gel continues absorbing the wound fluid and minimizes adherence to the wound. When the dressing is changed, the wound stays protected by a film of gel.
