When a wound is too large or too serious for a standard low-adherent pad, the combine dressing is the correct tool. A combine dressing — also called an abdominal pad or combined dressing — is a thick, highly absorbent sterile dressing designed to manage wounds with significant bleeding or exudate, protect the site from contamination, and stay in place until professional medical care is available.

The AeroWound Combine Dressing is sterile, hypoallergenic, and individually packaged — ready to apply directly to a serious wound without preparation. A required inclusion in WHS-compliant workplace first aid kits and a standard item across trauma, sports, and remote area kits where serious wound management is a realistic requirement.

• High absorbency — controls bleeding and manages heavy wound exudate The multi-layer construction absorbs and retains significant volumes of blood and wound fluid, keeping the wound site covered and protected while bleeding is controlled. For wounds producing more exudate than a standard low-adherent pad can manage, the combine dressing is the correct escalation — it maintains an effective wound covering without becoming saturated and losing function.
• Sterile, hypoallergenic, and individually packaged Sterile and individually sealed for immediate application without preparation. Hypoallergenic construction reduces the risk of skin reaction at a wound site that is already compromised. The sealed packaging confirms the dressing is uncontaminated at the point of use — replace any dressing whose packaging has been opened or damaged.
• Available in a range of sizes — small and large wound coverage Available in multiple sizes to suit the wound dimensions being managed. Select the size that covers the wound with adequate overlap on all sides — a dressing that does not fully cover the wound and surrounding skin is not providing complete protection. Check size options at checkout.
• Required in WHS-compliant first aid kits — standard across trauma and remote kits Combine dressings are a required inclusion in workplace first aid kits under the SafeWork Australia Code of Practice and are a standard item in trauma kits, remote area kits, and sports medical kits where serious wound management is a realistic requirement. Replace after every use. Ships from Dubbo, NSW within 2 business days.
