Steroswab wound dressings provide non-adherent wound coverage using a low-adherent pad that prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound surface. This enables pain-free dressing changes without disturbing new tissue growth. Suitable for cuts, grazes, abrasions, minor burns, and post-surgical wound protection in workplace and domestic first aid.
Compliance Summary: Steroswab dressings are medical devices providing non-adherent wound coverage. The low-adherent surface is suited to wounds that require regular dressing changes, reducing pain and tissue disruption during each change.
What does non-adherent mean?
Non-adherent means the dressing pad is designed not to stick to the wound surface. Standard dressings can bond to the wound as it heals, causing pain and tissue damage during removal. Non-adherent dressings use a specially coated surface that rests on the wound without bonding, enabling comfortable, damage-free dressing changes.
When should I use a non-adherent dressing?
Use non-adherent dressings on any wound that will require dressing changes - burns, abrasions, surgical wounds, and slow-healing wounds. They are particularly important for wounds with exposed raw tissue where a standard dressing would adhere and cause pain during removal. For wounds covered by a single plaster application, standard adhesive dressings are sufficient.
