Non Adherent Dressing Pad 7.5 x 10cm - Low-Stick Wound Pad

A non adherent dressing is designed to do one thing an ordinary gauze pad does badly: come off again without tearing the wound open. The low-adherent contact layer stops the dressing bonding to drying exudate, so a dressing change does not undo the healing underneath. This pad is 7.5 x 10cm.

Features

• Low-adherent wound contact layer that lifts off cleanly
• 7.5 x 10cm pad size for small to medium wounds
• Absorbent backing to manage light to moderate exudate
• Reduces pain and tissue damage at dressing changes

Specifications

• Size: 7.5 x 10cm
• Type: Non adherent (low-adherent) dressing pad
• Use: Grazes, lacerations, burns, sutured wounds, donor sites

When to use a non adherent dressing

Any wound where the dressing would otherwise stick: abrasions and grazes, superficial burns, skin tears, sutured wounds and healing surgical sites. The problem with plain gauze on these is that exudate dries through the weave and glues the pad to the new tissue, so removing it strips what has just formed and restarts the bleeding. A low-adherent layer prevents that, which matters most on fragile skin, on children, and anywhere dressings are changed frequently. It is a contact layer and absorbent pad, not a fixation - secure it with tape or a conforming bandage.

Common uses

First aid rooms, general practice, aged care and home wound management, and restocking workplace and vehicle kits. Cover it with sterile gauze swabs as a secondary layer. Browse more dressings and gauze, or the full first aid supplies range at MediBC.
