VARIHESIVE Gel Control 10 × 10 cm – Hydrocolloid Dressing (10 Units)

VARIHESIVE Gel Control is a sterile, self-adhesive hydrocolloid dressing developed for the treatment and protection of acute and chronic wounds, including pressure ulcers, vascular ulcers and traumatic injuries.

Its composition incorporates three hydrocolloids — sodium carboxymethylcellulose, pectin and gelatin — which form a soft gel when in contact with wound exudate. This mechanism helps maintain a moist environment that supports the natural healing process.

The dressing also features a polyurethane foam backing, which provides additional protection to the affected area.

Main features and benefits

Hydrocolloid technology: absorbs exudate and forms a gel that helps maintain the moisture level required for wound healing.

Wound protection: helps protect the injured area against external factors.

Controlled moist environment: supports the conditions required for the natural healing process.

Self-adhesive: allows direct application to the skin, generally without the need for additional adhesives.

Protective backing: incorporates a polyurethane foam layer.

Sterile and latex-free: developed for use in wound care.

Indications for use

VARIHESIVE Gel Control may be used, following appropriate assessment, to treat different types of wounds, including:

Pressure ulcers (bedsores).

Vascular ulcers.

Chronic wounds.

Traumatic wounds, such as abrasions and lacerations.

First- and second-degree burns.

Post-surgical wounds.

Skin graft donor sites.

How does VARIHESIVE Gel Control work?

When the dressing comes into contact with exudate, the hydrocolloid particles absorb the fluid and transform it into a gel.

This gel helps maintain a moist environment on the wound surface, protecting the tissues and supporting the natural skin regeneration process.
