About
Combine dressings are highly absorbent, multi-layered wound dressings designed for managing moderate to heavily exuding wounds. They typically consist of a soft, non-woven outer layer that is gentle on the skin, an inner absorbent cellulose or cotton layer, and a non-adherent contact layer to prevent trauma to the wound bed upon removal. These dressings provide excellent cushioning and protection for the wound, helping to create an optimal moist wound healing environment while protecting against external contamination.
Their robust construction makes them suitable for use as a primary dressing on larger wounds or as a secondary dressing over a primary wound contact layer. They are often used post-operatively, for traumatic injuries, or for chronic wounds requiring significant fluid management, ensuring patient comfort and effective exudate control.
