The Island Dressing is a versatile and essential wound dressing used in various medical and first aid applications. This type of dressing typically features a central absorbent pad surrounded by an adhesive border.

The central pad of the island dressing is designed to absorb exudate (fluids) from the wound, helping to keep the wound clean and dry.

The adhesive border surrounds the pad and adheres securely to the skin, holding the dressing in place. This border also acts as a barrier, preventing contaminants from entering the wound.

Island dressings are typically sterile, ensuring a clean and hygienic environment for wound healing. Sterility is crucial to prevent infections.

These dressings are suitable for a wide range of wound types, including cuts, abrasions, surgical incisions, and more. They can be used in hospitals, clinics, and as part of first aid kits.

Island dressings come in various sizes to accommodate different wound sizes and shapes.

Some island dressings are designed to be waterproof, making them ideal for use in situations where exposure to water or moisture is a concern.

The adhesive border makes it easy to apply and secure the dressing over the wound.
