Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing help with wound healing?
Yes, it is specifically designed to facilitate autolytic debridement. By maintaining a moist wound environment, it helps the body naturally break down necrotic tissue, which is essential for effective healing.
Is this dressing safe for those with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safer choice for patients who are sensitive or allergic to latex materials.
Is this suitable for wounds with heavy drainage?
This dressing is specifically engineered for wounds with light to no exudate. It is not intended for heavy drainage, as its primary function is to add or retain moisture in the wound bed.
Do I need to use another bandage over this?
Yes, this acts as a primary dressing. You must cover it with an appropriate secondary dressing—such as gauze or an adhesive bandage—to secure the hydrogel pad in place based on your clinical needs.
How can I protect the skin around the wound?
To prevent maceration of the peri-wound skin, it is recommended that you apply a moisture barrier ointment or barrier film around the edges of the wound before applying the dressing.
Are these dressings sterile?
Yes, each dressing is individually packaged and sterile. This ensures a high level of patient safety and minimizes the risk of infection during application.
Is this item eligible for FSA funds?
Yes, this McKesson Hydrogel Wound Dressing is FSA (Flexible Spending Account) eligible, making it a convenient option for your medical supply purchases.
Can I reuse the dressing after cleaning it?
No, this product is designed for single-use only. For hygiene and safety, please discard the dressing after use and apply a fresh, sterile one during your next change.
