Nonadherent Pad

Nonadherent pads are a type of surgical dressing material that falls under the supply class Surgical Dressing Materials in the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.

These pads are designed to be placed directly on wounds or surgical incisions to protect them and promote healing. They are made from a non-stick material, such as silicone or a non-adherent fabric, which prevents the pad from sticking to the wound or causing any further damage when it is removed.

Nonadherent pads are commonly used in medical, dental, and veterinary settings to cover and protect wounds, burns, ulcers, and other types of injuries. They provide a barrier against bacteria and other contaminants, while allowing for proper airflow and drainage.

These pads are available in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different wound sizes and locations. They can be used alone or in combination with other dressings, such as gauze or adhesive bandages, depending on the specific needs of the patient.

Overall, nonadherent pads are an essential component of surgical dressing materials, providing a gentle and effective way to protect and promote healing of wounds in medical, dental, and veterinary settings.
