Telfa Latex-Free Island Dressing Sterile for Draining Wounds

Lightly draining wounds require a dressing that absorbs exudate without adhering to healing tissue. The Telfa Latex-Free Island Dressing delivers a non-adherent surface combined with an absorbent core and adhesive border, protecting wounds while conforming comfortably to all body contours. Sterile and ready to apply, these dressings simplify care for post-surgical sites, minor cuts, abrasions, and superficial wounds.

Key Features

• Non-adherent Telfa surface prevents the dressing from sticking to granulating tissue, reducing pain during changes.
• Absorbent island pad wicks away light to moderate drainage, keeping the wound environment clean and moist.
• Adhesive border secures the dressing in place without tape, simplifying application and reducing skin irritation.
• Latex-free construction eliminates allergy risk for sensitive patients and healthcare workers in any care setting.
• Conforms to body contours for comfortable wear on elbows, knees, heels, and other high-movement areas.
• Individually sterile-packed to maintain aseptic conditions and extend shelf life until point of use.

FAQs

Q: Which size should I choose for my wound?

A: Select the 2" × 3¾" size for small incisions, IV sites, or minor cuts. Choose the 4" × 5" size for larger post-operative wounds or extensive abrasions requiring greater absorbent coverage.

Q: Can this dressing be used on infected wounds?

A: Telfa Island Dressings are designed for lightly draining, non-infected wounds. Infected wounds typically require antimicrobial dressings and physician evaluation before selecting appropriate treatment.

Q: How often should I change the dressing?

A: Change the dressing daily or whenever it becomes saturated with drainage. More frequent changes may be needed for wounds with higher exudate levels to prevent maceration.

Q: Is the adhesive border strong enough to stay in place during activity?

A: Yes, the adhesive perimeter frame secures the dressing through normal daily movement. For high-motion joints or heavy perspiration, reinforce edges with additional tape if needed.

Q: Can I shower or bathe with this dressing on?

A: These dressings are not waterproof. Cover with a transparent film or waterproof barrier before showering. Replace immediately if the dressing becomes wet to maintain sterility and absorbency.
