Although there are many types of wound dressings and bandages available, each one's basic purpose is to protect a wound and help it heal. Express Medical Supply carries a variety of wound coverings like foam dressings, hyrdocolloid bandages, silver wound dressings, and more. The type of dressing you use will depend on things like the size of the wound, its location, severity, and more. It is important to consult with your doctor to determine which dressing is best for your wound. Using the proper wound dressing and changing it as needed will help speed healing time and prevent infection.
Foam dressings are designed not to stick to a wound and do not produce lint. They are absorptive, which makes them a good choice for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. Foam bandages help maintain a moist wound environment that encourages proper healing. These dressings are available with or without an adhesive border around them. Dressings with an adhesive border are also known as island dressings. If you choose to use a dressing without adhesive, you will need to secure it with skin-friendly tape or a bandage wrap. It is important that the foam bandage covers the entire wound and that adhesive does not come into contact with any part of the wound. Mepilex is a popular brand of foam dressings and they make several styles to choose from.
A hydrocolloid dressing contains a material that forms a gel-like substance when it comes into contact with exudate. These thin, flexible dressings provide a moist environment that is ideal for wound healing. We carry several hydrocolloid dressings that have a waterproof backing, which blocks out bacteria and other contaminants. Duoderm dressings are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes that are ideal for hard-to-dress areas like heels and elbows. Hydrocolloid dressings should not be used on infected wounds, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor or nurse.
A silver wound dressing contains ionic silver, which helps reduce inflammation and treats existing infection. This antibacterial dressing prevents new infection as well. It works by slowly releasing silver into the wound when the dressing comes into contact with bacteria or exudate. Silver dressings are available in the form of foam dressings, wound gels, hydrofiber, and more. For more information on silver hydrogels, see our Silvasorb gel blog post.
