Non-Adherent Dressings: frequently asked questions

When should I use a non-adherent dressing?

They suit minor cuts, grazes and wounds where you want to avoid the dressing sticking. Most need a secondary dressing or tape to hold them in place.

When should a wound be seen by a health professional?

See your doctor or nurse if a wound is deep, large, not healing, or shows signs of infection such as increasing redness, heat, swelling or pus.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wounds that are deep, slow to heal or show signs of infection should be checked by a doctor or nurse. Ask our pharmacists in store, or call 07 3355 3052.
