Steropore adhesive wound dressings provide sterile wound coverage with a breathable adhesive backing and central absorbent pad. The porous backing allows air circulation to the wound area while maintaining a secure seal, promoting natural healing. The non-stick wound pad absorbs exudate without adhering to the wound surface, enabling comfortable dressing changes.
Compliance Summary: Steropore dressings are medical devices providing breathable adhesive wound coverage. The porous backing promotes healing through air circulation while the non-stick pad prevents wound adhesion during dressing changes.
What sizes are Steropore dressings available in?
Steropore dressings are available in multiple sizes to cover wounds from small cuts to larger abrasions. Select the size that provides at least a 1-2cm adhesive border around all edges of the wound pad. The adhesive border must fully surround the wound to maintain a secure, hygienic seal.
Can I shower with a Steropore dressing on?
Steropore dressings are breathable but not fully waterproof. Brief water exposure during hand washing is acceptable, but prolonged soaking or direct shower spray may compromise the adhesive seal. For wounds that will be exposed to water, use a waterproof dressing or cover the Steropore with a waterproof barrier during bathing.
