Dressing Types

Adhesive Dressings: Self-adhesive dressings with integrated wound pad and adhesive border. Suited to wounds where tape-free fixation is preferred. Available in multiple sizes with breathable or waterproof backing.
Non-Adherent Dressings: Low-adherent pad dressings that do not stick to the wound surface, enabling pain-free dressing changes. Use on burns, abrasions, and granulating wounds.
Absorbent Pads: High-capacity dressings for wounds producing significant exudate. Use as primary or secondary dressings on heavily draining wounds.
Ambulance Dressings: Large combined pad-and-bandage dressings for managing significant wounds. Emergency provision for trauma and heavy bleeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right dressing size?

A: Select a dressing with a wound pad large enough to cover the entire wound with at least a 1cm margin on all sides. The adhesive border or bandage should extend well beyond the wound edges to maintain a secure, hygienic seal. Using a dressing that is too small risks contamination at the wound margins.

Q: When should I use a non-adherent dressing?

A: Use non-adherent dressings on any wound that will require regular dressing changes - burns, abrasions, surgical sites, and slow-healing wounds. The non-adherent surface prevents the dressing from bonding to the wound bed, enabling pain-free removal without damaging new tissue growth.
