What is a Dressing Protector?

Dressing protectors are covers made of plastic or synthetic rubber-like material designed to protect surgical incisions, dressings, and vascular access sites while showering, sponge bathing, or any other daily activities involving water. Dressings are essential for wound healing, and it is important to protect them from any external damage to preserve the wound healing process.

A wound dressing protector keeps the dressing dry and gives protection against infection from waterborne bacteria to maintain the integrity of primary dressings. Dressing protector ensures that the patient’s personal hygiene is not hampered while recovering. The dressing protector forms a four-sided adhesion seal that completely covers the dressing and does not let steam or moisture damage the dressings. They are normally transparent films, and the bandage remains visible. They are shaped differently for varied body parts such as for the elbow, arm, feet, knee, etc.
