- A non-sterile, highly absorbent Abdominal (ABD) Pad designed for managing large or heavily draining wounds
Uses
- Wound care:
- Designed to cover and absorb drainage from large or heavily draining wounds
- Post-surgical dressing:
- Used to dress wounds after abdominal or other surgical procedures
- Absorbent layer:
- Can be used as an absorbent layer in other dressing applications
- General use:
- Useful for situations where general absorption and padding are needed, such as in a first-aid kit
Features
- Highly Absorbent:
- The pad is a multi-layer dressing with a fluff-filled cellulose core that quickly absorbs and disperses fluids away from the wound site
- Moisture-Resistant Barrier:
- It includes a moisture-resistant barrier on the back to prevent fluid "strike-through" (leakage) to the outer surface
- Soft Outer Layer:
- A soft, non-woven outer facing wicks moisture and is gentle against the skin
- Sealed Edges:
- All edges are sealed to prevent linting and minimize the risk of fibers interfering with the wound or causing contamination
- Size:
- The pad measures 12 inches by 16 inches
- Non-Sterile:
- The pads are non-sterile, making them suitable for applications where sterility is not strictly required, such as secondary dressing applications over a primary sterile dressing
- Latex-Free:
- The product is not made with natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions
Benefits
- Effective Wound Management:
- Provides superior absorbency for moderate to heavily draining wounds, which helps maintain a clean and dry healing environment
- Reduced Maceration Risk:
- The quick absorption and moisture wicking design helps prevent the surrounding skin from becoming maceration
- Patient Comfort:
- The soft, non-woven material and large size help promote patient comfort and provide cushioning protection for large areas
- Fewer Dressing Changes:
- The high fluid capacity minimizes the need for frequent dressing changes, which improves efficiency and can reduce costs in high-volume facilities
- Versatile Application:
- The pads can be easily cut to size for customized wound care without separating or compromising their integrity
