All You Need to Know About Using Triad Wound Cream
Are you looking for a way to treat an open wound? Triad Wound Cream is a topical antiseptic cream that helps heal minor wounds and reduce pain. This cream is easy to use and can be applied multiple times throughout the day. Here’s a short review of why Triad is effective for healing and how to start using it right away.
How Does Triad Work?
Triad Wound Cream works by reducing the risk of infection in wounds while providing relief from pain. This cream contains several active ingredients, including lidocaine, which numbs the area around the wound; bacitracin, an antibiotic which prevents infection; and benzalkonium chloride, an antiseptic that kills bacteria. It also contains carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) which allows it to adhere to wet, moist, or macerated skin. Other important ingredients include dimethicone – which is used to moisturize the peri-wound skin – and petrolatum and zinc oxide – which reduces skin irritation. Together, these ingredients work together to promote healing and reduce irritation.
Triad is an ideal dressing choice for difficult-to-dress wounds on wet or irregular surfaces. Irregular surfaces could include the gluteal cleft, coccyx, perineum, buttocks, groin, face, hands, feet and other areas. Triad adheres to wet skin, and can be used on broken skin in the presence of incontinence, or maceration of the peri-wound skin. Triad facilitates autolytic debridement to help manage necrotic tissue such as slough and eschar.
Application Instructions
Before using Triad Wound Cream, it’s important to make sure that your hands are clean. Wash your hands with soap and water before applying the cream. Then, take a small amount of the cream on your fingertip and gently apply it directly onto the wound or surrounding area. Massage it into the skin until it is absorbed completely. Repeat this process up to three times per day as needed until your wound has healed.
Side Effects & Precautions
It’s important to note that Triad Wound Cream may cause mild side effects such as itching, stinging, or redness at the site of application. If any of these symptoms persist or worsen after using this product, stop using it immediately and contact your doctor for further advice. Additionally, do not apply this product over large areas of skin as it could cause serious side effects such as hives or swelling of the face or tongue. Finally, store this product away from light and heat when not in use.
Triad Wound Cream is a great way to heal minor wounds quickly and efficiently while providing relief from associated pain and discomfort. By following proper application instructions and taking necessary precautions into consideration before use, you can maximize its benefits while minimizing any potential risks associated with its use.

do you need a prescription for using this cream.And can it be uses on cuts you would get at home
Hi Sandra,
No prescription is needed to buy this cream.
Triad is used for difficult-to-dress areas. A zinc-oxide based hydrophilic paste that absorbs moderate levels of wound exudate.
It helps maintain an optimal wound healing environment to facilitate natural autolytic debridement. Ideal alternative for difficult-to-dress areas and varying wound etiologies.
For other cuts and wounds we suggest to ask your Pharmacist, Doctor or Nurse for suggestions on what to use and how to use it.
We’re happy to speak with you about what brands we carry and their benefits if you call us at 1-844-466-3939.
is this compounded different than Triad from Coloplast? The Coloplast website does not list lidocainen, bacitracin,or benzalkonium chloride as ingredients.
Hi Misty,
Apologies for the late reply.
We suggest you call Coloplast directly as they will know exactly what ingredients are in their products.
When it’s hot, like it is right now, can the cream be refrigerated? it’s really runny right now because we don’t have central air.
Hi Deborah,
We suggest you give Coloplast a call since they are the manufacturer and can properly answer this type of question.
Do I need to wash residue Triad cream between dressing changes?
Hi Julie,
It would be best for you to Call Coloplast and get proper instructions.
Always the best to chat with the company that makes the cream.
Is it alright to leave some of the cream on,it is awful hard to remove all is there a product that will take it all off
Hi Bob,
The best advice we can give you is to speak with a medical professional.
Another alternative is to call Coloplast directly as they are the manufacturer and will know more specifics on how to use the Triad cream.
We hope this gets resolved for you soon.
I have some pressure sores on my behind. The VA recommended Triad wound dressing and gave me a tube for me to apply. The nurse applied the first treatment and it wasn’t long before my butt was stinging like crazy. It is now 2:15 am and I am up reading about this stuff. I washed it remainder off and changed my shorts as they were completely white with the suave. I am convinced of two things it was applied improperly and what you call mild stinging is far from that description of side effects.
Hi Gary,
Sorry to hear about your struggles.
We recommended you call your nurse sooner than later as a medical professional is best suited to help you.
I hope this is resolved soon for you.
