Types of Surgical Dressings We Offer

We offer a range of surgical dressings to meet diverse needs, including sterile, non-stick, and absorbent options for different types of wounds.

1. Gauze Dressings

Gauze dressings are commonly used for general wound care, offering a breathable material that helps absorb exudate and promotes a dry, clean healing environment. We offer both:

• Sterile Gauze Pads: For general wound dressing, ideal for cuts, abrasions, and post-surgical incisions.
• Gauze Sponges: Highly absorbent and soft, designed for cleaning wounds and applying medications.
• Gauze Roll: Flexible and versatile, perfect for wrapping wounds or covering large areas of skin.

2. Non-Adherent Dressings

Non-adherent dressings are designed to prevent the dressing from sticking to the wound, making them ideal for painful or sensitive wounds:

• Telfa® Pads: Popular non-stick dressing pads that won’t adhere to the wound, minimizing discomfort during dressing changes.
• Mepitel®: A silicone-coated dressing that helps protect the wound without causing additional trauma to the healing tissue.

3. Hydrocolloid Dressings

Hydrocolloid dressings are ideal for moderately to heavily exuding wounds, as they provide moisture retention and promote faster healing by creating a moist wound environment:

• Comfeel® Plus: A popular hydrocolloid dressing that helps protect wounds while maintaining a moist environment for enhanced healing.
• DuoDERM®: Known for its superior absorbency and ability to promote faster healing while providing comfort.

4. Foam Dressings

Foam dressings offer absorbency and comfort for larger wounds or wounds with higher drainage. These dressings are soft, cushioning, and designed to protect the wound while keeping it dry:

• Allevyn®: A foam dressing designed to absorb wound exudate and reduce the risk of infection.
• Mepilex®: A gentle foam dressing with a soft, conformable layer that protects sensitive skin and wounds.

5. Transparent Film Dressings

Transparent film dressings are ideal for minor wounds, surgical incisions, and protecting fragile skin. These dressings are thin, waterproof, and provide a sterile environment while allowing easy monitoring of the wound:

• Tegaderm®: Clear, waterproof, and breathable dressings that offer a barrier against bacteria and moisture while allowing the wound to heal.
• Opsite® Flexigrid®: A flexible, transparent dressing ideal for covering wounds where visual monitoring is important.

6. Alginate Dressings

Alginate dressings are made from seaweed and are highly absorbent, making them ideal for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate, including pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers:

• Sorbsan®: A highly absorbent alginate dressing for managing exudate and helping to stop bleeding in wounds.
• Kaltostat®: An alginate dressing that offers quick absorption, minimizing the risk of infection and helping to control excess moisture.

7. Antimicrobial Dressings

Antimicrobial dressings help prevent infection and promote faster healing by introducing substances like silver or iodine to the wound site:

• Acticoat®: A silver-coated dressing designed to offer broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection.
• Aquacel® Ag: Contains silver for antimicrobial properties and is used for wound beds prone to infection.

8. Hydrogel Dressings

Hydrogel dressings are used for dry or necrotic wounds, offering moisture to promote healing and prevent infection:

• Intrasite® Gel: A hydrogel dressing that helps maintain a moist wound environment, ideal for burns, donor sites, and necrotic tissue.
• Nutrashield®: Helps rehydrate dry, hard-to-heal wounds by providing moisture for more efficient healing.
