However, it is not suitable for moderate to high exudate wounds, deep cavity wounds, or as a primary wound closure method. The dressing's non-adherent pad, soft non-woven cloth backing, and absorbent qualities contribute to optimal wound healing while minimizing pain and skin irritation.

Its 10cm x 10cm total size and 5cm x 5cm non-adherent pad size make it a convenient and practical option for wounds of varying sizes. To apply ClearHeal Non-adherent dressing plasters, the wound and the surrounding skin must be free from creams, oils, and soaps. It is advisable to choose a dressing size that adheres to the dry and healthy skin around the wound site.

The dressing may be left in place for up to seven days, depending on the wound's clinical condition, and should be changed if exudate penetrates the soft cloth backing. When removing ClearHeal Non-adherent dressing plasters, it is crucial to avoid skin damage by gently peeling and lifting one corner of the dressing horizontally (in the direction of hair growth) while supporting the skin. It is essential to stop any bleeding before applying the dressing and avoid stretching the dressing during application, as this may cause skin trauma.

If the peel pouch is damaged or opened, do not use the dressing. Consult your healthcare provider if the wound's condition worsens. Hypoallergenic Can you afford to take a chance with your health? Postoperative wound infections are a major concern in the healthcare industry, as they can result in prolonged hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, and decreased patient satisfaction.

The type of bandage used to cover the wound can play a significant role in reducing the risk of infection. On the other hand, standard bandages are not as effective in preventing postoperative wound infections. These bandages can become wet or soiled, increasing the risk of infection.

They are also more likely to become dislodged or come off, exposing the wound to outside contaminants.
