Tired of looking for the right wound dressing for delicate skin? Understandably, finding the correct dressing for wound care is an arduous task. Not all bandages and dressings are appropriate for all types of wounds. For instance, wounds with light exudates, such as skin tears and abrasions, require non-adherent dressings.
But that is not all.
Which non adhesive dressings are the best for sensitive or delicate skin? How to find the one that suits your skin? Where to find it?
These are some questions you must be asking yourself, and here are your answers.
Non-adherent Dressings, as the name suggests, are non-stick wound dressings used to protect wounds or injuries without sticking to the peri-wound skin or damaged tissues.
A non-adherent dressing is made with low adhesive materials to allow for minimal to no skin damage to the wound site during dressing change.
Some common materials used in these dressings include -
This type of dressing typically comes with a porous or semi-permeable outer layer. This layer does not let the external contaminants enter, allowing air and moisture to pass through.
Non-adhesive dressings are ideal for open wounds with minimal exudate, first or second-degree burns, and skin tears, where trauma management is necessary. These are also effective on wounds developed on sensitive and fragile skin, such as pressure ulcers or leg sores.
Now that we know what these dressings are and when are they used, let's read about the 8 best non-adhesive bandages available at HPFY for delicate skin.
