McKesson Sterile Hydrogel Wound Dressing Pads are specifically designed to help maintain a moist environment for optimal healing. Used as a primary bandage, the burn and wound dressings maintain a moist wound surface that is critical for aiding in autolytic debridement. Different secondary dressings may be used depending on the amount of exudate and frequency of dressing change.
At a Glance:
McKesson Sterile Hydrogel Wound Dressing Pads are designed for use on wounds and burns that have little-to-no exudate. Measuring 4 by 4 inches, these blue hydrogel wound dressing sheets come in individually wrapped sterile packaging. They are noncytotoxic and are not made with natural rubber latex.
These wound dressing supplies help maintain a moist wound surface to assist in autolytic debridement in wounds with necrotic tissue, allowing moisture to accumulate so that old tissue swells and separates from the wound. To protect skin around the wound from maceration, apply a moisture barrier ointment or barrier film and cover with an appropriate secondary dressing depending on the amount of exudate and frequency of dressing change.
