A wound dressing that does not cover the wound properly is not providing full protection — and a dressing that sticks to the wound causes a second injury at the change. These general-purpose wound dressings are available across the full standard size range, including a specialised finger dressing for injuries too large for a standard adhesive plaster. Each dressing combines a highly absorbent low-adherent wound pad with a gauze leader for easy, secure application without additional tape or bandage.

Select the size that fully covers the wound with adequate overlap at the dressing border. Available in multiple standard sizes to suit finger injuries, small lacerations, moderate wounds, and larger trauma sites — all in individually sterile easy-tear packaging ready for immediate use.

• Highly absorbent — controls bleeding and manages wound exudate The absorbent wound pad draws blood and exudate away from the wound surface into the dressing, keeping the wound site clean and reducing the frequency of dressing changes. For wounds with ongoing exudate — common in workplace lacerations managed over several days — a dressing that maintains absorbency without becoming saturated provides better wound protection between changes.
• Low-adherent coating — minimal trauma on dressing removal The low-adherent coating prevents the wound pad from bonding to the wound surface as exudate dries — the mechanism that causes standard gauze dressings to tear the wound on removal. The dressing changes cleanly without reopening the wound, causing unnecessary pain, or disrupting healing — particularly relevant for wounds on hands and fingers that are redressed regularly across a working week.
• Gauze leader for easy application — sterile, individually packed, easy-tear wrapper The gauze leader attaches to the wound pad and allows the dressing to be positioned and secured over the wound cleanly without direct contact with the pad surface. Easy-tear packaging opens without scissors — ready for immediate application under pressure. Individually sterile packed to maintain integrity in shared first aid kits between uses.
• Specialised finger dressing — for injuries too large for a standard plaster The finger dressing variant features a 4.5cm square low-adherent pad with a gauze leader and adhesive tab — shaped and sized for finger wounds that exceed what a standard band-aid can cover but do not require a full wound dressing. The adhesive tab secures the dressing without needing a separate bandage or tape on a finger. Select the finger dressing from the size options above for finger-specific injuries.
