Minor scratches, scrapes, and cuts are a part of our everyday life. When our skin is injured, our body works to heal the wound. No two wounds are the same and thus different wounds require different attention and care.
Healing is delayed when wounds become infected with harmful microorganisms. If left untreated, there is a risk of the infection spreading to other body parts.
Waterproof dressings are transparent film dressings comprised of Polyurethane (PU) film coated with adhesive. They offer a transparent, waterproof film layer that serves as a bacterial barrier.
Although the dressings do repel water they are still porous and thus breathable. This aids in providing an environment that is moist, leading to faster healing. They are ideal for the protection of wounds as they seal out water, dirt and germs; therefore decreasing the chances of infection.

Have you always wondered, what is the difference in a single layer or multiple layer bandage?

In the last two decades, interest in silver for wound treatment has resurged. However, there are very few quantitative data available on the systemic absorption of silver and the associated clinical risk.
