The PRIMAPORE Adhesive Non-Woven Absorbent Wound Dressing is an ideal solution for patients and caregivers needing reliable post-operative wound care for surgical incisions, lacerations, or sutured wounds. These dressings provide an excellent balance of high-capacity fluid absorption and breathable comfort, ensuring the wound environment remains protected and clean. While these dressings offer superior skin-friendly adhesive properties for secure placement, users should note that they are intended for single use and must be replaced if the adhesive border becomes loose or the pad reaches saturation.

The dressing is breathable, but it is not waterproof. You should avoid submerging the dressing in water, such as during a bath or shower.
The dressing should be changed if it becomes saturated with fluid, if the adhesive border starts to lift, or according to your doctor's specific recovery instructions.
Yes, the adhesive used on PRIMAPORE dressings is designed to be gentle, though you should always perform a patch test if you have a known history of severe skin allergies.
The pad is designed to provide high absorption while minimizing adherence to the wound bed, facilitating easier and less painful removal.
Yes, each dressing is individually packaged to maintain sterility until opened.
Ensure the skin is free of oils, lotions, or moisture before application. Clean the area with a saline solution and pat dry thoroughly.
Gently rub the area with a medical-grade adhesive remover wipe or baby oil to dissolve any remaining residue without scrubbing.
To apply, ensure the wound site is cleaned and the surrounding skin is thoroughly dried. Remove the backing paper and carefully position the absorbent pad directly over the wound. Smooth the adhesive border gently onto the skin, ensuring there are no creases that could allow bacteria to enter. For removal, gently lift one corner of the adhesive border and peel back slowly, parallel to the skin surface to reduce irritation. Store these dressings in a cool, dry place and keep them in their original sterile packaging until the moment of use.
