Dermomed fix dressing 75 x 8cm

Dressings are essential in the first aid kit. However, they are generally gauzes designed to treat small wounds. In cases where it is necessary to protect a larger wound or a burn on the chest, abdomen, or back, dressings capable of covering the wound and protecting it from infection should be used.

When it comes to a larger and more serious wound, Dermomed Fix adhesive dressings are the solution. It is a continuous strip with sterile gauze measuring 75 cm long x 8 cm wide that can be cut to the required size.

The dressing has been made from an elastic material, so it will fold or stretch as the patient moves without coming off. This adhesive dressing is made from non-woven polyester. It is a hypoallergenic and breathable material that will help keep the wound dry and can absorb any fluid it releases.

Polyester coated non-woven rayon.

Plasters, adhesive bandages or dressings are patches that have a sterile gauze pad in the centre, surrounded by an area that sticks to the skin. They are used to protect open wounds, prevent infection and facilitate the healing process.

There are different types of plasters depending on the type of injury. To choose the right dressing, you need to consider the conditions the wound will be subjected to. They come in multiple sizes, materials, colours, flexibility, and can even be water-resistant. They may also have an additional ingredient with antiseptic properties to ensure a better healing process.

It is essential to clean the wound with water and soap, disinfect it and carefully dry the area with a sterile gauze before applying a dressing to any type of wound. Afterwards, simply remove the protective elements and make sure that the gauze pad, not the adhesive part, completely covers the wound.

Remember that the dressing is intended to protect the skin until it forms a protective scab. Unless the wound is in a rubbing area, it is preferable to remove the plaster once the scab has formed so that it can heal completely.

Please note that plasters are only indicated for blistering or minor bleeding. If the wound is very large or deep, you should consult your doctor, who will be able to assess how you should to proceed.
