What is 532019-Each Adaptic Non-adhering Dressing 5 X 9?

The 532019-Each Adaptic Non-adhering Dressing 5 X 9 is a sterile, primary wound care solution designed to protect healing tissue without sticking to the wound bed. Made from knitted cellulose acetate fabric and infused with a petrolatum-based emulsion, this non-adhering dressing maintains a moist environment conducive to healing while allowing exudate to pass through to secondary dressings. Each 5 x 9 inch pad is individually packaged to ensure sterility and is intended for single use in acute or chronic wound management settings.

Key features

This dressing is ideal for clinicians and caregivers managing patients with fragile or granulating tissue, including those with pressure ulcers, donor sites, abrasions, or post-surgical wounds. It's especially beneficial when minimizing trauma during dressing changes is a priority. Diabetic patients with slow-healing wounds may also benefit from its non-traumatic removal.

How does 532019-Each Adaptic Non-adhering Dressing 5 X 9 compare?

Compared to standard gauze, this dressing reduces adherence to wound beds, lowering pain and tissue damage at removal. Unlike some silicone-based non-adhering dressings, it uses a petrolatum emulsion that supports moist healing without requiring additional moisture barriers. It performs similarly to other petrolatum gauzes but offers a knitted structure for greater durability and conformability. While more expensive than basic gauze, its clinical benefits justify the cost in sensitive or high-exudate wounds.
