Additional information

Smith & Nephew PRIMAPORE 20cm x 10cm – Pack of 20

Smith & Nephew PRIMAPORE 20cm x 10cm is a sterile adhesive non-woven wound dressing designed for the simple, secure and effective management of suitable post-operative wounds, sutured wounds, minor cuts, abrasions, lacerations and puncture sites. Combining a soft conformable fixative layer with a highly absorbent wound pad, PRIMAPORE helps protect the wound while absorbing blood and exudate. The larger 20cm x 10cm size is particularly useful where a longer dressing is required, such as over surgical incisions, extended wound areas or dressings that need broader coverage with reliable adhesive fixation.

The breathable non-woven backing is designed to conform comfortably to body contours, helping the dressing remain secure during normal patient movement. In addition, the low-allergy adhesive border provides dependable fixation without the need for separate tape in many applications. The absorbent pad includes a low-adherent wound contact layer, helping fluid pass into the dressing while reducing disruption to the wound site during removal. As a result, PRIMAPORE is a practical choice for hospitals, GP surgeries, minor injury units, outpatient departments, care homes, first aid rooms and community healthcare settings.

Each dressing is individually sterile wrapped to support hygienic application and stock control. The split protector paper allows the dressing to be applied cleanly without touching the absorbent pad or adhesive surface, helping healthcare professionals maintain good dressing technique during routine wound care. PRIMAPORE may also be used as a secondary dressing over suitable gels, ointments or primary wound dressings, depending on the wound type, exudate level and local clinical guidance.
