As a classic among skin protection materials, our hydrocolloid supply offers superior properties – soft, flexible and reliable.
Hydrocolloids are mainly derived from natural ingredients such as cellulose, gelatine and pectin. Hydrocolloid tends to form a gel when combined with liquids which are resorbed through the skin. This gel provides the necessary adhesive strength for an ostomy appliance.
Hydrocolloids has been used as a wound dressing for many years due to their healing and absorbent properties and are also used extensively in stoma care for baseplates and accessories (e.g. skin protection rings).
Hydrocolloid adheres to the skin by absorbing heat and moisture. This moisturising effect allows the base plate to swell slightly and ensures good adhesion to the skin – this prevents leakage and skin irritation and accelerates skin healing.
