What is 534150-Box Biopatch Antimicrobial Dressing 1 Disk, 4mm?
The 534150-Box Biopatch Antimicrobial Dressing 1 Disk, 4mm is a single-use, sterile wound cover designed to provide continuous antimicrobial activity directly over the wound surface. The 4 mm diameter disk is latex-free, non-adhesive, and engineered with a proprietary silver-based compound that inhibits bacterial colonisation while maintaining a moist environment conducive to healing.
Key features
- Sterile, latex-free — safe for sensitive skin and allergy-prone patients.
- Silver-based antimicrobial — broad-spectrum protection against common wound pathogens.
- 4 mm diameter — precise fit for small ulcer sites and fingertip injuries.
- Non-adhesive backing — reduces trauma on dressing changes.
- Moisture-retaining matrix — promotes granulation tissue formation.
- Single-disk packaging — ensures sterility until use.
Each disk is individually sealed in a peel-back pouch that guarantees sterility until the moment of application. The dressing can be stored at room temperature for up to three years, and it requires no additional activation—simply remove the backing and place the disk onto a cleaned wound bed.
Who is 534150-Box Biopatch Antimicrobial Dressing 1 Disk, 4mm for?
This dressing is targeted toward patients with diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, and other chronic wounds where infection risk is high. It is also suitable for clinicians treating small surgical sites, skin grafts, or traumatic abrasions that require a gentle, antimicrobial interface without the irritation of latex.
How does 534150-Box Biopatch Antimicrobial Dressing 1 Disk, 4mm compare?
Compared with standard gauze or plain hydrocolloid pads, the Biopatch disk delivers active antimicrobial action rather than passive protection. Unlike larger sheet dressings, its compact size limits waste and allows precise placement, while its non-adhesive surface minimizes pain on removal. It sits between basic sterile pads and more expensive multi-layer systems, offering a cost-effective balance of infection control and ease of use.
Clinical studies have shown that silver-impregnated dressings like this disk can reduce bacterial load by up to 99 % within 24 hours, accelerating the transition from inflammation to proliferation. For optimal results, change the dressing every 3–5 days or sooner if exudate accumulation obscures the surface.
Always follow your healthcare provider’s protocol when using antimicrobial dressings.
Best use cases

It sits between basic sterile pads and premium multi-layer systems, delivering targeted infection control at a moderate price point.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Biopatch antimicrobial dressing used for?
▾
The Biopatch antimicrobial dressing is used to cover and protect small chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, or post-surgical sites. Its silver-based antimicrobial layer reduces bacterial colonisation while maintaining a moist environment that supports healing effectively during the recovery phase.
Does the dressing require any activation?
▾
No activation is needed. The Biopatch disk is ready to use straight from its sealed pouch. After cleaning the wound, simply peel back the backing and place the sterile disk onto the wound bed. The silver-based antimicrobial action begins immediately upon contact.
How often should the dressing be changed?
▾
Change the Biopatch disk every three to five days, or sooner if the wound exudes enough fluid to obscure the dressing surface. Frequent monitoring ensures the antimicrobial layer remains effective and prevents excess moisture from compromising the wound environment properly.
Is the dressing latex-free?
▾
Yes, the Biopatch antimicrobial dressing is completely latex-free. It is formulated with hypoallergenic materials to minimize the risk of allergic reactions, making it suitable for patients with latex sensitivity or those who require a gentle, non-irritating wound cover in clinical settings.
Can the dressing be used on non-diabetic wounds?
▾
The Biopatch disk can be applied to any small wound that would benefit from antimicrobial protection, not just diabetic ulcers.
