Medline Premium Sterile ABD Abdominal Pad — 8 × 10 in

Medline Premium ABD absorbent wound pad, size 8 × 10 inches (about 20 × 25 cm). The catalogue image shows the blue Medline box and an individually wrapped pad. Medline describes the premium pad as extra absorbent for heavily draining wounds. Its soft outer layer draws exudate into an absorbent core, and sealed edges help reduce linting. The supplied sales unit and pad count must be confirmed against the actual pack at quotation.

How to use

1. Clean the wound according to the care plan and wash hands or wear suitable gloves.
2. Open an intact sterile wrapper. Place the pad over the wound without touching its wound-facing surface, then secure it with suitable medical tape or a bandage without excessive pressure.
3. Change it according to drainage and clinician instructions, or when saturated or soiled. Dispose of the used pad appropriately.

Precautions

Do not use a sterile pack if its seal is open or damaged, and do not reuse the pad. Deep wounds, persistent bleeding or signs of infection need clinical assessment. Follow the healthcare professional’s directions.

Complementary items

Suitable dressing-retention tape, examination gloves and wound cleanser may be used according to the care plan. Choose a pad size that covers the wound and surrounding area.
