365 Non Adherent Wound Dressings | Various Sizes

365 Non-Adherent Absorbent Sterile Dressings are your ultimate solution for wound care. These dressings are designed to care for wounds with low to moderate exudate levels. The unique low-adherent wound contact layer serves as a shield, minimising the risk of the dressing adhering to the wound bed and causing any discomfort when removed.

Key Features

Ideal for wounds with light to moderate exudate levels: including clean sutured wounds, abrasions, lacerations, and minor burns.

Provides versatile wound management: suitable as a primary contact layer for heavily exudating wounds when backed by a secondary absorbent dressing.

Hygiene and sterility: Each dressing is hermetically sealed in its own wrapper, ensuring a pristine and sterile environment. This reduces the risk of contamination and helps maintain the dressing's integrity until it's ready to be used.

FAQs

How do I apply the 365 Non-Adherent Absorbent Sterile Dressing?

1. Stop any bleeding at the site before applying the dressing.
2. Cleanse the wound and select a dressing pad large enough to provide a margin that reaches dry healthy skin around the wound site and apply.
3. The dressing will need to be held in place with a suitable retention aid (e.g bandages or adhesive tape).
4. The frequency of dressing change will depend on the clinical condition of the wound, the dressing should be changed if exudate penetrates the dressing.

Are these dressings easy to remove?

The non-adherent wound contact layer significantly reduces the risk of the dressing adhering to the wound helping to make the process easier and reduce discomfort.

How should I remove the dressing?

To remove dressings from the wound, gently peel and lift one corner of the dressing from the skin.

Support the skin whilst peeling the dressing off in the direction of hair growth.

Can I wear these dressings while bathing or showering?

These dressings are not waterproof and therefore unsuitable for use whilst bathing and showering.

Are these dressings suitable for leg ulcers?

Use with caution in the treatment of leg ulcers that produce copious quantities of very viscous exudate. With such wounds, exudate may become trapped under the dressing, leading to maceration and inflammation of the surrounding skin.

What other precautions should I be aware of?

• Do not stretch the dressing or skin during application as tension can cause skin trauma.
• Care should be taken to avoid skin damage with repeated applications, or on patients with fragile skin.
• If the condition of the wound deteriorates, consult your healthcare professional.
• Do not use if the packaging has been damaged.
