Products for minor wound care include adhesive surgical dressings, conforming bandages, zinc oxide tape and specialised burn dressings. Adhesive dressings like Mepore provide sterile coverage for post-surgical wounds or larger cuts, while conforming bandages secure dressings in place without restricting movement. Zinc oxide tape offers firm support for joints and secures heavier dressings, and hydrogel burn dressings provide cooling relief for thermal injuries.
Adhesive surgical dressings work well for clean wounds requiring sterile protection, whereas conforming bandages suit areas needing flexibility such as elbows or knees. Zinc oxide tape is ideal when you need strong adhesion on skin or over existing dressings. Hypoallergenic strip dressings cater to sensitive skin, reducing the risk of irritation during healing. Always read the patient information leaflet and change dressings as directed to support proper wound care.
