NuMed Bordered Wound Dressing

Composite dressings combine distinct components into a single product for multiple functions, including bacterial barrier, absorption, and adhesion. Typically comprised of multiple layers with a semi- or non-adherent pad that covers the wound. May include an adhesive border made of non-woven fabric tape or transparent film. Can serve as either a primary or secondary dressing on a variety of wounds and can be used with topical medications. Suitable for various healthcare settings, including emergency care (cuts, burns, abrasions), surgery (surgical incisions), intensive care (I.V. catheter sites), and long-term care (superficial and partial thickness wounds). NuMed Bordered Wound Dressing: Combines a ventilated non-woven fabric top with a hypoallergenic adhesive for a gentle fixative border and an absorbent non-adherent pad. The soft absorbent island pad allows for the lateral spread of fluids, maximizing absorbency and reducing the risk of maceration. Moisture vapor permeability and non-sensitizing adhesive allow the wound and surrounding skin to breathe. The non-adherent pad surface leaves the wound site undisturbed, reducing pain and trauma during dressing changes. Additional Features: Latex-free hypoallergenic composite wound dressing Semi-occlusive layer prevents external contamination Highly absorbent non-adherent pad minimizes the need for frequent dressing changes Allows for monitoring of drainage without removing the dressing Moisture vapor permeability enables the wound and skin to breathe Nonsensitizing adhesive border ensures the dressing stays in place longer Indications: NuMed Bordered Wound Dressing is indicated for use as a primary dressing for: Pressure ulcers (stages I – III) Surgical incisions and excisions Skin tears Lacerations Infected and non-infected wounds Wounds with low to moderate drainage Donor sites May also be used as a secondary dressing over gels and alginates.
