Dukal 5940 - ABD Pad, 5" x 9", Non-Sterile, 25/BG, 16 BG/CS
The Dukal 5940 ABD Pad is a high absorbency dressing designed for effective wound drainage management. Measuring 5 x 9 inches, this non-sterile pad features a soft outer layer for patient comfort and a fluffy inner core that provides superior absorbency. It is ideal for use as a secondary dressing over heavily exuding wounds or post-operative sites. The multiple-layer construction ensures excellent fluid retention and helps maintain a dry healing environment.
Key Benefits
The ABD Pad offers enhanced fluid absorption, reducing the need for frequent dressing changes and improving clinical efficiency. Its soft non non-woven cover minimizes irritation to sensitive skin, while the non-sterile format allows flexibility for controlled environments and bulk use. The sealed edges prevent linting and leakage, helping maintain a clean wound site and reducing contamination risk. Cost-effective packaging supports both hospital and outpatient care settings.
Compatibility and Applications
This pad is compatible with standard wound care protocols and can be used with adhesive tapes, wraps, or retention bandages. It is commonly used in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and home care environments. Applications include coverage for surgical incisions, trauma wounds, pressure ulcers, or drainage sites where high absorbency is required.
Usage Guidelines
Clean and prepare the wound area according to institutional guidelines. Place the ABD Pad directly over the wound or primary dressing, ensuring full coverage. Secure with medical tape or a bandage to hold in place. Change as needed when saturation occurs or per clinical recommendation. Dispose of used pads according to facility protocols. This product is non-sterile and intended for external use only.
