Composite Dressings
At ATC Medical, we carry a wide variety of composite dressings tailored for professional and home use. These dressings are suitable for managing wounds caused by surgery, pressure sores, diabetic ulcers, and trauma. Many come with adhesive borders to hold them in place securely without needing extra tapes or wraps.
An outer breathable film acts as a barrier to bacteria, keeping contaminants out while still allowing oxygen in, thus reducing the risk of exposure to external irritants and infection. Some also feature an antimicrobial barrier for added protection, especially when using topical medications beneath the dressing.
Understanding Composite Wound Dressings
Composite dressings are advanced, multi-functional wound care products that offer an all-in-one solution for treating various wound types. They are uniquely constructed with distinct layers that work together to create an optimal healing environment.
Such dressings have layers with a non-adhering contact surface that rests very gently in the wound, an absorbent material core with an absorbent layer for exudate management, and an outer layer of dressing that is either waterproof or semi-permeable.
This thoughtful combination minimizes the frequency of dressing changes, maintains a clean, moist area, and supports faster, more effective tissue healing as part of the overall healing process.
Features of Composite Dressings
Composite dressings are an excellent choice for caregivers and healthcare professionals seeking efficiency, comfort, and reliable care. Their ease of application and ability to manage moderate to heavy exuding wounds make them suitable for both short-term and long-term care.
They may also serve as a secondary dressing to reinforce primary bandages when needed. With minimal patient discomfort during changes and reduced dressing frequency, caregivers save time and resources.
At ATC Medical, we provide trusted medical supplies made from durable material and fabric, including options with anti-bacterial properties, to support superior wound care outcomes in all environments.
