Results for tag: "Abdominal Pads"

Abdominal pads, often referred to as ABD pads, are a specialized type of dressing designed for absorbing large amounts of fluid and providing cushioning and protection to larger wounds, particularly in the abdominal region. The Wound Care market considers abdominal pads as essential items for post-operative care and for treating large, deep, or heavily exudating wounds. These pads are typically made from highly absorbent materials and may contain multiple layers that wick away fluid to prevent maceration of the skin and infection of the wound. They are also designed to minimize adherence to the wound, which helps reduce pain during dressing changes and facilitates the healing process. Abdominal pads come in various sizes and may have additional features such as an adhesive border or a non-woven outer layer to provide a barrier against external contamination. Several companies specialize in the production and distribution of abdominal pads within the Wound Care market. Prominent players include 3M, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, B. Braun Melsungen AG, Cardinal Health, Molnlycke Health Care, Smith & Nephew, ConvaTec, Medline Industries, and HARTMANN. These companies are known for their healthcare and wound care products, providing a range of solutions to meet the diverse needs of patients and healthcare professionals. Show Less Read more
