Actolind^® Hydrocolloid Thin is a gelatin free hydrocolloid adhesive wound dressing laminated to a semipermeable, bacteria-proof and waterproof poly- urethane film backing. The dressing forms gel upon absorbing wound exudates providing a moist wound environment that supports granulation and epithelialization. Gel formation prevents the dressing from adhering to wounds and so the dressing can be removed with- out causing pain and without damaging the granula- tion of epithelial tissue. Its thin form offers different usage options with its thin and flexible structure.
