Description

Designed for optimal wound care, this non-woven island dressing measures 8cm x 10cm and offers a versatile solution for managing superficial wounds with light exudate. Its sterile nature makes it ideal for post-operative wounds and minor injuries where water resistance is not a necessity.

Key Features

• Central Absorbent Pad: The dressing includes a low-adherent pad centrally located to absorb exudate effectively while minimizing adherence to the wound, thus promoting a cleaner healing environment.
• Non-Woven Adhesive Border: Surrounding the pad is a gentle, skin-friendly adhesive border that securely seals the dressing in place, reducing the risk of contamination and protecting the wound from external factors.

Benefits

• Skin-Friendly Adhesive: The adhesive is designed to be kind to the skin, providing reliable fixation while allowing for easy removal to minimize trauma to healing tissue.
• Flexibility and Conformability: The dressing conforms well to body contours, making it suitable for difficult-to-dress areas such as the heel. Its breathable nature allows air circulation, which is beneficial for optimal healing.

Usage Instructions

• Application: Ensure the wound area is clean and dry before applying the dressing. Choose a size that allows the pad to extend 1–2 cm beyond the wound margin.
• Wear Time: The dressing can be worn for up to 7 days, but should be changed if exudate absorption extends beyond the pad.
• Removal: Gently remove the dressing, preferably using an adhesive remover wipe to minimize skin damage.

Packaging

Available individually or in boxes of 50, this dressing is intended for single use only. It is not made with natural rubber latex, making it suitable for individuals with latex sensitivities.
