Dukal 4085 - Composite Island Dressing, 4" x 6", 1/PK, 25 PK/BX, 4 BX/CS
The Dukal 4085 Composite Island Dressing is a sterile, multi-layer wound dressing designed to provide superior protection, absorption, and secure adhesion in a single product. Measuring 4 x 6 inches, this dressing combines a non-adherent pad with a breathable adhesive border that conforms comfortably to body contours. It is ideal for covering surgical incisions, abrasions, and light to moderately exuding wounds, ensuring optimal wound healing and patient comfort.
Key Benefits
The integrated design simplifies wound management by combining multiple layers into one dressing. The central absorbent pad effectively wicks away exudate to maintain a moist healing environment, while the non-adherent layer prevents sticking to the wound bed during dressing changes. Its sterile, single-use nature minimizes the risk of infection, and the strong adhesive border ensures a secure fit, even on areas subject to movement. The dressings breathable backing allows moisture vapor transmission while providing a reliable bacterial barrier.
Compatibility and Applications
This composite island dressing is compatible with a wide range of medical and surgical settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and home healthcare. It can be used on postoperative incisions, lacerations, donor sites, and other wounds requiring moderate absorbency and secure fixation. The adhesive border adheres gently to intact skin, eliminating the need for additional tape or secondary dressings.

Clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin before application. Peel back the release liners and position the dressing centrally over the wound, ensuring full coverage. Press down gently around the adhesive border to secure it in place. Replace the dressing when saturated or as directed by facility protocol. Do not reuse or re-sterilize. Always follow aseptic technique when handling the product.
