The Dukal 4072 Island Dressing is a high-quality sterile dressing designed to provide a protective barrier for post-operative wounds, abrasions, or lacerations.

The sterile, single-use design ensures infection control, while the breathable adhesive border maintains a moist wound environment ideal for optimal healing conditions. Easy to apply and remove, this dressing saves time for healthcare professionals and improves patient comfort.

Usage Guidelines

Center the absorbent pad over the wound, ensuring full coverage, then gently press down the adhesive border to secure it in place.
