Wound Dressing — Self-adhesive with Absorbent Pad

Self-adhesive with absorbent pad is a convenient, all-in-one wound dressing designed for quick application and reliable protection. It combines a soft, absorbent central pad with a skin-friendly adhesive border, eliminating the need for separate gauze and tape. This design simplifies wound care, especially for minor cuts, abrasions, and post-surgical incisions.

The central pad is made from a non-stick, absorbent material that cushions the wound while effectively managing light to moderate exudate. It helps maintain a clean, moist environment, which supports natural healing and minimizes the risk of scabbing or irritation. Because the pad doesn’t stick to the wound, removal is more comfortable and less disruptive to healing tissue.

Surrounding the pad is a flexible, breathable adhesive layer that keeps the dressing in place without restricting movement. This adhesive is usually hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin, reducing the chance of redness or allergic reaction. The backing also allows moisture vapor to escape, helping to prevent skin maceration under the dressing.

This type of dressing comes in various sizes and shapes to fit different body parts. Flat areas like the arm or torso benefit from rectangular shapes, while jointed areas such as knees or elbows may require a more flexible or contoured version. The dressing remains securely attached even during daily activities, making it suitable for both clinical use and home care.

To apply, clean and dry the wound area thoroughly. Then, peel off the backing and place the pad directly over the wound, pressing the adhesive edges gently to secure it. The dressing should be changed according to wound condition or medical advice.

Self-adhesive with absorbent pad offers a simple, hygienic, and comfortable solution for wound protection. Its combination of cushioning, adhesion, and breathability makes it a trusted choice for effective everyday wound care.
