Softpore - Adhesive Surgical Dressing - 6cm x 7cm

Softpore Adhesive Surgical Dressing (6cm x 7cm) is a sterile island dressing designed to protect wounds while providing comfortable, secure fixation. It features a highly absorbent, non-woven viscose pad to help manage exudate and support a moist wound-healing environment, with a soft, breathable backing to allow airflow during wear.

Suitable for low to moderately exuding wounds, including:

• Surgical incisions / post-operative wounds
• Minor cuts and grazes
• Abrasions
• Minor burns

Key features

• Latex-free, gentle adhesive border with rounded corners for comfort and secure fixation
• Breathable and conforming to support movement
• Water-repellent outer layer (helps protect from light splashes)
• Packaged with overlapping release papers to support aseptic, easy application

For external use only. Single-use dressing.

1. Wash hands and prepare a clean working area.
2. Clean the wound as appropriate and pat the surrounding skin dry (adhesion is reduced on wet or oily skin).
3. Open the pouch carefully. Avoid touching the pad area.
4. Remove the release paper and apply the dressing with the absorbent pad centred over the wound.
5. Smooth down the adhesive border from the centre outwards to reduce creases and improve seal.
6. Change the dressing as needed (for example if it becomes wet-through, soiled, loose, or as directed by a healthcare professional).

When to seek advice

• If symptoms are not improving, or you notice signs of infection (increasing pain, heat, swelling, spreading redness, pus, fever), seek medical advice promptly.

Dressing materials (functional components)

• Absorbent non-woven viscose pad (wound contact “island” pad)
• Non-woven backing with breathable structure
• Hypoallergenic, latex-free adhesive border

(Exact material specifications can vary by manufacturer revision; always verify against the carton/on-pack information for your batch if you need a full technical declaration.)

• Single use only: do not re-use once removed (infection risk).
• Do not use if the pouch is damaged, open, or the dressing is past its expiry date.
• Stop use and seek advice if you develop significant skin irritation, rash, blistering, or worsening redness around the adhesive area.
• If the wound is deep, heavily contaminated, caused by a bite, involves a foreign body, or bleeding won’t stop, seek medical attention.
• Seek urgent advice for eye/face wounds, severe burns, or any change in sensation around the wound.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep pouches sealed until needed.
