About Kliniderm Hydrocolloid

A sterile hydro-active wound dressing for the treatment of chronic and acute wounds that release little to moderate exudate. Kliniderm Hydrocolloid does not adhere to the wound, which reduces pain during dressing changes and does not damage newly formed tissue.

  • Kliniderm® Hydrocolloid Border Sacral
