Wound dressing pads come in various shapes, sizes, and materials to suit different types of wounds and levels of exudate.
Contact layer dressings are wound dressings designed to be placed directly on the wound bed to protect and promote healing.
Adhesive dressings, also known as adhesive bandages or adhesive strips, typically consist of a sterile pad or absorbent material attached to an adhesive backing that sticks to the skin surrounding the wound.
Film dressings with pads combine the benefits of transparent film dressings with the absorbency of a wound pad. These dressings typically consist of a transparent adhesive film with an absorbent pad or island dressing in the centre.
Adhesive film dressings are a type of wound dressing that consists of a thin, transparent film coated with a gentle adhesive. These dressings are designed to adhere securely to the skin surrounding the wound, providing a protective barrier while allowing for easy visualisation of the wound site.
Wound closure strips, or steri-strips or butterfly closures, are adhesive strips used to close small wounds with clean, straight edges. These strips are often made of non-woven material, such as reinforced paper or fabric, and are coated with a hypoallergenic adhesive.
