Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing require extra medical tape?
No, the WoundGard is an all-in-one solution. It features an integrated adhesive border, which completely eliminates the need for:
- Separate adhesive tape
- Additional gauze rolls
- Cutting tools or scissors
Will the pad stick to the healing wound?
The dressing is specifically engineered with a specialized non-adherent absorbent pad. This design ensures:
- The pad does not stick to the wound site
- Minimal trauma during removal
- Maximum comfort for the patient
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The WoundGard is designed for professional wound management where a secure, sterile barrier is required. Because the pad is non-adherent, it is specifically built to protect the wound bed and surrounding skin from the trauma often caused by traditional gauze dressings.
Can I use this for home first aid?
Yes, it is highly recommended for home healthcare and first aid kits. Its user-friendly design makes it an excellent choice for non-professionals to provide clinical-grade wound care.
Does the pad protect against strike-through?
Yes, the dressing is designed to manage moisture exchange while preventing strike-through. The absorbent center pad ensures that exudate is effectively contained, keeping the wound environment clean and protected from external contaminants.
How do I apply this dressing?
Application is quick and streamlined:
- Cleanse the wound site thoroughly.
- Remove the backing from the adhesive border.
- Apply the dressing directly to the site.
Its border-to-pad ratio provides a secure, reliable seal on the first try.
Can I use this with my FSA funds?
Yes, the WoundGard Bordered Gauze Dressing is FSA eligible, making it a convenient and cost-effective purchase for your medical supply needs.
What are the exact dimensions of the absorbent area?
While the total footprint of the dressing is 6 x 6 inches, the centered, sterile absorbent pad measures 4 x 4.25 inches, providing generous coverage for a variety of wound sizes.
Is this dressing sterile?
Yes, every WoundGard dressing is factory new and sterile. It is packaged to maintain its sterile integrity until you are ready to apply it to the wound site.
How does this help the healing process?
The dressing supports optimal healing by maintaining a moist healing environment while providing a physical barrier against external contaminants. This combination helps keep the wound site stable and protected from external irritants.
