Steroplast Low Adherent Dressing Pads are a type of medical dressing which minimizes sticking to the wound, while absorbing exudates.
We coat each pad with a material preventing the dressing from adhering to the wound surface. Therefor it reduces pain and trauma whilst changing dressings.
What are Low Adherent Dressing Pads suitable for?
Low adherent dressing pads are suitable for managing a variety of wounds, especially those with light to moderate exudate (fluid). They protect the wound and promote healing without sticking. Therefore, minimizing pain and damage to newly formed tissue during dressing changes.
Key Uses and Suitability
-
Cuts and Abrasions: Ideal for minor wounds where a gentle dressing is needed to prevent sticking to the wound.
-
Surgical Incisions: Used post-operatively to cover and protect incisions, as they help reduce discomfort during dressing changes.
-
Burns and Blisters: Suitable for burns or blisters where non-adherence is critical to avoid disturbing sensitive tissue.
-
Chronic Wounds: Useful for managing chronic wounds, such as ulcers, where frequent dressing changes are required, as they reduce the risk of damaging the wound bed.
-
Skin Tears: Effective for older adults or individuals with fragile skin, where low adherence can prevent trauma during removal.
Key Features
-
Non-Stick Surface: A non-adherent layer that prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound, reducing pain and tissue damage.
-
Absorbent Core: Designed to absorb light to moderate exudate, keeping the wound moist without becoming saturated.
-
Breathable Material: Allows air circulation, which is beneficial for wound healing and reduces the risk of maceration.
Low adherent dressing pads are widely used in hospitals, clinics, and home care, especially where minimal disruption to the wound is essential to support faster and more comfortable healing.
