Composite Island Dressings or Barrier Island Dressings combine absorption, adhesion, and bacterial barrier performance into a single product. These are ideal for light to moderately draining wounds such as IV sites, minor burns, ulcers, skin tears, lacerations, incisions, and donor sites.
Composite dressings have a breathable surrounding layer that allows the exchange of moisture vapor and resists water and bacteria by utilizing sterile, absorbent, and non-adhesive materials in the center, or island, to cover the wound site.
Island dressings are used as a primary or secondary dressing to create an ideal environment for the healing process, reducing hospital stays and healthcare costs.
