Coloplast Triad Hydrophilic Wound Dressing Paste — Zinc Oxide CMC Formula
When the wound won't cooperate with a standard dressing — Triad will. Coloplast Triad Hydrophilic Wound Dressing is a zinc oxide-based hydrophilic paste that conforms to any wound shape, adheres to wet and irregular surfaces, and maintains the moist wound environment essential for healing — making it the go-to clinical solution for wounds that traditional dressings simply can't cover effectively.

Why Triad — When Standard Dressings Won't Work
Traditional wound dressings require a relatively flat, accessible wound surface to adhere properly. Wounds near joints, in body folds, or with irregular surfaces — or wounds that are too moist for adhesive dressings to stick — are exactly where Triad excels. Its hydrophilic paste formula conforms to any shape, adheres directly to moist wound tissue, and stays in place without the need for a secondary dressing in many cases.
- Zinc oxide base gently adheres to moist wound beds — won't lift off wet tissue
- CMC absorbs light-to-moderate exudate and maintains optimal moisture balance
- Autolytic action loosens dried eschar and slough — supporting the body's natural debridement process
- Unique 4-ingredient blend conforms to irregular wound surfaces and difficult body locations
- Can be applied directly to the wound and periwound skin without a secondary dressing
- Zinc oxide provides a protective antibacterial layer — reduces infection risk while healing progresses
- Dimethicone seals the wound surface without clogging — keeps out external contamination
- Latex-free and sterile on first application — safe for sensitive patients
How to Apply
- Clean the wound thoroughly and remove any loose debris or necrotic tissue
- Apply Triad paste directly into or over the wound from the tube, or using a gloved finger
- Spread evenly over the wound area to approximately the thickness of a dime
- A secondary dressing may be applied over Triad if needed — gauze or a non-adherent cover dressing works well
- Change frequency is determined by wound condition and exudate level — follow physician direction
- Note: Triad may not dry completely — some light staining on linens or garments can occur
- For professional use — consult a wound care specialist for treatment protocols
Which Size Is Right?
- 2.5 oz. Tube (#1964) — Best for smaller wounds, single-patient home use, or trial
