Dukal 5875 - ABD Pad, 8" x 7.5", Sterile, 1/PK, 25 PK/TY, 12 TY/CS
The Dukal 5875 ABD Pad is a sterile, highly absorbent dressing designed to manage heavy drainage and protect large wounds. Measuring 8 x 7.5 inches, this abdominal pad features a soft, non-woven outer layer and a fluff-filled inner core that efficiently wicks moisture away from the wound bed. Its sealed edges help prevent linting and leakage, ensuring a clean and secure dressing for a variety of clinical and surgical applications.
Key Benefits
The Dukal ABD Pad provides superior absorbency for moderate to heavy wound exudate, making it ideal for post-operative and trauma care. The non-adherent contact layer minimizes disruption to the wound bed during dressing changes, promoting patient comfort and faster healing. Each pad is individually wrapped and sterile, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Its durable construction supports extended wear and effective fluid management in demanding clinical settings.
Compatibility and Applications
This sterile ABD pad is compatible with a wide range of secondary dressings and fixation materials, including elastic wraps and surgical tapes. It is used in hospitals, emergency departments, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare settings. Common applications include postoperative wound coverage, abdominal incisions, pressure ulcers, burns, and heavily draining wounds requiring high absorbency and reliable protection.
Usage Guidelines
Clean and prepare the wound area according to clinical protocol. Remove the Dukal ABD Pad from its sterile packaging and place the absorbent side directly over the wound. Secure in place using medical tape, an elastic bandage, or other fixation method as appropriate. Replace the pad when it becomes saturated or according to wound care policy. Dispose of used pads following institutional infection control guidelines.
