Postoperative care for closed surgical incisions
Medical guidelines for post-operative care recommend the use of a dressing which, when applied for the specified duration, promotes moist wound healing whilst allowing for continuous assessment of the wound.4
Properties
- Moisture vapourpermeable: A high moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR) helps excess moisture to evaporate.5–7
- Protects: Provides a barrier against bacteria and external contamination, which can help to minimise the risk of infection.2
- Waterproof: Allows the patient to shower.5,8
- Comfort: The low-tack wound contact layer helps to increase patient comfort and facilitate dressing removal.1,9
