For that type of wound, moisture balance is critical. Safe n’ Simple recommends using a hydrocolloid sheet , which is great at creating the ideal healing environment. It traps just enough moisture to promote epithelial growth without breaking down the surrounding tissue. The hydrocolloid forms a gel as it absorbs, keeping the wound protected and undisturbed. What’s helpful is that it also shields the area from bacteria and friction, which allows for uninterrupted healing. Many healthcare providers rely on hydrocolloids during the mid-stages of wound repair because of their ability to support granulation tissue while still being gentle on the skin. Using a product like this can really accelerate the recovery process if the wound isn’t actively oozing.
