- Designed to protect and cushion a wound while absorbing drainage, all without sticking to the wound bed
Uses:
- Minor to Moderately Draining Wounds: Ideal for dressing a variety of wounds, including:
- Lightly draining cuts and abrasions
- Sutured wounds
- Minor burns
- Blisters
- Sensitive Skin/Painful Wounds: Particularly beneficial for patients with delicate skin or wounds where pain during dressing changes is a concern, as the non-adherent surface minimizes trauma
- Post-Surgical Sites: Can be used on clean, closed surgical incisions to protect and absorb minimal drainage
- General First Aid: A valuable component of professional and personal first aid kits where wound protection and non-adherence are important.
Specifications:
- Sterile: Each pad is individually packaged and sterile, crucial for preventing infection in open wounds
- Non-Adherent Surface: The most important feature is its non-stick surface. This prevents the pad from adhering to the wound, which means:
- Less pain during dressing changes
- No disruption to newly formed tissue, promoting faster healing
- Absorbent Core: Contains a highly absorbent cotton pad (or similar material) to wick away and contain wound drainage (exudate)
- Adhesive Border: Has an adhesive border which provides a convenient "one-step application" – simply peel and stick
- Protection and Cushioning: Provides a protective barrier and cushioning for the wound, shielding it from external contaminants and minor impacts.
- Latex-Free
