Bordered Gauze & Composites

Total Wound Care Solutions is pleased to offer the following brands of bordered gauze and composite dressings:
Medline Bordered Gauze
Benefits of Bordered Gauze
Bordered gauze can be used as the primary or secondary dressing and is ideal for daily use. They are appropriate for acute or chronic partial and full-thickness wounds with minimal to moderate drainage.
Bordered gauze dressings are absorptive dressings made up of three layers:
- A low-adherent layer to protect the wound surface
- An absorbent gauze to absorb exudate
- A non-woven adhesive tape that holds the dressing in place
The adhesive tape on bordered gauze helps the dressing maintain a moist wound environment.
Benefits of Composite Dressings
Composite wound dressings are wound covers that are made up of different components. The different components are combined into a single product so the dressing can perform multiple functions. Composite dressings can be used for absorption, adhesion, or a bacterial barrier.
Most composite dressings are made up of multiple layers that include a semi-adherent pad or a non-adherent pad that covers the wound. These wound dressings may also include an adhesive border that’s made of transparent film or fabric tape. Composite dressings can be used as a primary or secondary dressing for several types of wounds. Composites can be used along with topical medications.
