Non-Adherent Pads in Nagpur
Non-adherent pads are specialized wound dressings designed to protect wounds while minimizing trauma during dressing changes. Unlike regular gauze, these pads do not stick to the wound, reducing pain and preventing disruption of newly formed tissue or scabs. They are commonly used for burns, surgical wounds, abrasions, and sensitive skin areas. Non-adherent pads are usually made of materials like petrolatum gauze, silicone, or polyethylene mesh, which allow exudate to pass through to a secondary absorbent layer while keeping the wound surface moist and protected.
