Coloplast Triad Hydrophilic Wound Dressing — 6 oz sterile tube, CMC zinc‑oxide gel for light-to-moderate exudate

Coloplast Triad Hydrophilic Wound Dressing is a sterile, zinc oxide–based 6 oz tube formulation designed to manage light-to-moderate exudate while supporting a moist wound surface and aiding removal of dried eschar through autolytic action.

This hydrophilic dressing combines carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) with a zinc oxide base to create a spreadable, moisture-retentive barrier suitable for challenging anatomical sites. Packaged sterile in a single 6 ounce tube, Triad is intended for healthcare professionals and caregivers who need a versatile topical dressing that conforms to irregular wound shapes and helps maintain an environment conducive to healing without introducing fibers or bulky dressings.

How does Triad manage wound drainage without bulk?

The CMC component absorbs and holds exudate, forming a soft gel that helps keep the wound surface hydrated while minimizing pooling under dressings. Its spreadable consistency lets you apply a thin, even layer to shallow or irregular wounds where traditional pads can bunch or slip.

• CMC-based gelation for light to moderate exudate
• Thin, conformable application reduces dead space
• Sterile tube allows measured dispensing and less waste

Will Triad work on hard-to-dress areas?

Yes—the formulation is intended for difficult-to-dress locations because it conforms to contours and adheres gently to the wound bed without bulky dressing layers. That adaptability makes it useful under secondary dressings or as a contact layer where other products won’t stay in place.

• Spreadable texture adapts to creases and folds
• Suitable under tape, film, or non-adherent secondary dressings
• One-tube format supports repeated, localized applications

How does Triad interact with dried eschar and debris?

The product’s autolytic mechanism softens and helps loosen dried eschar so that mechanical or atraumatic removal is more controlled. While not a substitute for debridement by a clinician when required, it can be part of a conservative approach to soften residue prior to cleaning or intervention.

• Zinc oxide–based formula supports gentle autolysis
• Helps soften dried tissue to assist removal processes
• Can be used as a preparatory step before cleansing or dressing change

How should Triad be applied and stored for best results?

Apply a thin, even layer directly to the cleaned wound bed and cover with an appropriate secondary dressing to secure the product and manage additional drainage. Store the sterile tube in a cool, dry place and follow label instructions for single-patient use and disposal after contamination or expiration.

• Apply to a clean wound, spread evenly, then cover
• Use secondary dressing compatible with exudate level
• Keep tube sealed and store per label temperature guidance

Who is this product for? Coloplast Triad Hydrophilic Wound Dressing (CMC) is intended for clinicians, wound care specialists, and caregivers who manage light-to-moderate exuding wounds—especially when wounds are in contoured or hard-to-dress locations. It is well suited for use in outpatient clinics, long-term care, and home care settings where a sterile, zinc oxide–based, spreadable dressing is preferred. Always follow local protocols and consult a healthcare professional for wounds requiring advanced debridement or specialist intervention.
