Cardinal Health C-DDS023S - Adhesive Island Dressing 2" x 4", Sterile, Latex-Free, Non-Adherent Pad with Secure Adhesive Border, 8BX/CS

Product Overview

The Cardinal Health C-DDS023S Adhesive Island Dressing is a sterile, latex-free wound care dressing designed to manage and protect surgical incisions, abrasions, and low-to-moderate exuding wounds. This dressing features a central non-adherent pad that absorbs exudate while minimizing trauma to the wound bed during dressing changes. The surrounding non-woven adhesive border secures the dressing in place and forms a protective barrier against contaminants.

With a convenient 2" x 4" size and a 1.5" x 1.5" absorbent pad, the C-DDS023S offers comfort, reliability, and ease of use, making it ideal for post-operative care and outpatient wound management.
