- A highly absorbent multi-layer dressing designed for large wound care and heavy drainage management
Uses
- Large Wound Management:
- Ideal for covering abdominal wounds, large surgical incisions, or major traumatic injuries
- Heavily Draining Wounds:
- Used to manage high levels of exudate from chronic wounds, pressure ulcers, or drainage sites
- Secondary Dressing:
- Frequently placed over a primary dressing (like a gauze pad) to provide an extra layer of absorption and cushioning
- Clinical Settings:
- Common in hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare
Features
- Dimensions:
- Large standard size of 8" x 10"
- Multi-Layer Construction:
- Features a soft non-woven outer layer that wicks moisture into a thick cellulose inner core for rapid fluid dispersal
- Moisture Barrier:
- Includes a moisture-resistant backing that prevents "fluid strikethrough," keeping outer clothing and linens dry
- Non-Sterile:
- Designed for use as a secondary dressing or on clean wound sites where sterility is not required
- Latex-Free:
- Safe for patients with natural rubber latex allergies
- Sealed Edges:
- All edges are sealed to prevent linting and minimize the risk of leakage
Benefits
- Superior Absorbency:
- The cellulose core provides significantly higher fluid capacity than standard gauze, reducing the frequency of dressing changes
- Patient Comfort:
- The soft non-woven facing is gentle on sensitive skin and provides cushioning to protect the wound from external pressure
- Cost-Efficiency:
- Its large format and high capacity allow healthcare providers to use fewer dressings per change, making it a cost-effective choice for high-volume facilities
- Dry Healing Environment:
- By wicking moisture away from the wound and preventing leakage, it helps maintain a clean environment conducive to healing
