Additional information

Smith & Nephew PRIMAPORE 8.3cm x 6cm – Pack of 50

Smith & Nephew PRIMAPORE 8.3cm x 6cm is a sterile adhesive non-woven wound dressing designed for simple, secure and comfortable wound management. Combining a soft breathable cover, highly absorbent pad and low-allergy adhesive border, PRIMAPORE provides reliable fixation while helping protect suitable wounds from external contamination. This smaller 8.3cm x 6cm size is ideal for minor post-operative wounds, small sutured wounds, cuts, abrasions, lacerations and puncture sites where a compact adhesive dressing is required.

The dressing features a low-adherent wound contact layer that allows blood and exudate to pass into the absorbent pad while helping reduce discomfort and disruption during dressing changes. In addition, the conformable non-woven backing supports patient comfort and allows the dressing to sit securely across a range of wound sites, including areas where flexibility and close contact are important. The low-allergy acrylic adhesive is evenly spread across the backing to provide safe and secure fixation without the need for separate tape in many applications.

PRIMAPORE dressings are easy to apply, with split protector paper designed to support aseptic technique and reduce the risk of touching the absorbent pad or adhesive area during application. Supplied as a pack of 50 individually sterile dressings, this size is particularly suitable for hospitals, GP surgeries, outpatient departments, minor injury units, first aid rooms, care homes and community healthcare teams requiring a dependable adhesive island dressing for routine wound care.
