What Is a Non-Woven Dressing with Pad?
A non-woven dressing with pad is a sterile wound dressing made from non-woven fabric bonded mechanically, thermally, or rather than woven like traditional gauze. The central pad is made of cotton or rayon to absorb exudate, while the surrounding hypoallergenic adhesive border holds the dressing securely in place. Gemmy Medical non-woven dressings are widely used for minor cuts, abrasions, surgical incisions and burns.
Key Elements of Non-Woven Dressings with Pad

How to Use Non-Woven Dressings with Pads
- Prepare the Wound: Wash hands, clean the wound with saline or mild antiseptic, then pat dry gently.
- Select the Right Size: Ensure the pad fully covers the wound with 1-2 cm extra border.
- Apply the Dressing: Peel off the backing film and place the pad over the wound, press the edges firmly.
- Monitor and Replace: Change every 1-2 days or once saturated with exudate. Consult a doctor for infected wounds.
