Waterproof dressings protect minor to larger wounds from water and contaminants during activities like showering or swimming. They are made of a breathable, waterproof film with a sterile, non-stick pad and use strong adhesive to seal the edges, helping to keep the wound clean and dry, and can aid healing.
Features and benefits
Waterproof protection: The outer film is waterproof to shield wounds while showering, swimming, or bathing.
Bacterial barrier: Many dressings seal around the wound to protect it from germs and dirt, which can help minimize the risk of infection.
Breathable: Some dressings use breathable materials that allow excess moisture to evaporate, which can help prevent skin damage.
Sterile and non-adherent pad: The absorbent pad is sterile and non-stick to cushion the wound without sticking to it.
Strong adhesive: The adhesive is designed to stay on the skin, with some having low-allergy properties to minimize irritation.
Flexible material: The dressings conform to the body for comfort and protection.
Common uses
Used for smaller scrapes and cuts during daily activities.
Waterproof sterile dressings can be used for several days post-op, depending on the wound.
How to apply (general steps)
Clean and dry the skin around the wound.
Apply the dressing, ensuring the pad is centered over the wound and the edges are pressed firmly onto the skin.
Peel off the top layer of the protective film.
Remove the backing, if applicable, while ensuring the edges remain sealed.
