Peristomal Skin Protective Gel Impregnated Pad

Peristomal Skin Protective Gel Impregnated Pads are a type of surgical dressing material that is specifically designed to protect the skin around a stoma. A stoma is an opening created during surgery, usually in the abdomen, to allow for the passage of waste or fluids out of the body.

These pads are impregnated with a protective gel that helps to create a barrier between the skin and the stoma. This barrier helps to prevent irritation, inflammation, and infection of the peristomal skin, which can be a common issue for individuals with stomas.

The gel in the pads is typically non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and gentle on the skin. It helps to soothe and moisturize the peristomal area, promoting healing and preventing skin breakdown.

Peristomal Skin Protective Gel Impregnated Pads are commonly used in medical, dental, and veterinary settings where stomas are present, such as in ostomy care, wound care, and post-operative care. They are available in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different stoma sizes and locations.

These pads are considered a part of the surgical dressing materials supply class, which includes various types of dressings, bandages, and other materials used to protect and promote healing of surgical wounds.

In summary, Peristomal Skin Protective Gel Impregnated Pads are specialized surgical dressing materials that provide a protective barrier and promote healing of the peristomal skin around a stoma. They are commonly used in medical, dental, and veterinary settings as part of ostomy care and wound care.
