How Medical Plasters & Wound Dressings Work

Medical plasters and wound dressings function as protective barriers that create the optimal environment for healing. The adhesive border securely holds the sterile pad over the wound, preventing external contaminants from entering while absorbing exudate and maintaining proper moisture levels. Different varieties serve specific needs—waterproof dressings protect during bathing, transparent films allow wound monitoring, and non-adhesive options work for sensitive skin. Most feature breathable materials that promote air circulation while antimicrobial properties in advanced dressings actively fight infection—crucial for healthcare facilities managing diverse patient needs.

Top Tips for Using Medical Plasters & Wound Dressings

For optimal wound care, always clean and dry the area thoroughly before applying any dressing. Change dressings according to manufacturer guidelines—typically when soiled or after 24-48 hours. Ensure the dressing extends beyond the wound margins by at least 2cm for proper sealing, and remove adhesive dressings by pulling parallel to the skin rather than upward to minimise discomfort. Store unused dressings in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight to maintain sterility and adhesive properties.
