Advanced Wound Dressings for Every Clinical Workflow

The wound dressings subcategory spans fourteen distinct material types organized by mechanism and exudate range - from primary contact layers and foam dressings through silver antimicrobials, NPWT systems and biological skin substitutes. The product depth reflects the reality of clinical wound management: no single dressing material covers every wound type, and a complete formulary needs coverage across the full range of wound bed conditions and exudate levels. Each subsubcategory page below expands into product-level depth with brand comparison, format details and the configurations available in that material class.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wound dressing materials are stocked across the catalog?

The catalog covers fourteen distinct dressing material classes: foam, alginate and gelling fiber, hydrogel, hydrocolloid, transparent film, silver and other antimicrobials, collagen, composite, silicone contact layer, super absorbent, NPWT/negative pressure, biological skin substitutes, gauze pads and sponges, and hemostatic dressings. Each subsubcategory page documents the available formats, sizes and brand options within that material class.

What is the difference between silver dressings and other antimicrobial dressings?

Silver dressings release ionic silver into the wound bed for broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Available formats include Acticoat (nanocrystalline silver), Mepilex Ag, Exufiber Ag, Maxorb Ag, Silverlon and Durafiber Ag. Other antimicrobial dressings use different active mechanisms - PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide), iodine (Iodosorb, Iodoflex), honey (MediHoney) or chlorhexidine (Bio-Patch for IV sites). All are stocked across the catalog with different size and format options.

What is NPWT and which products are available?

NPWT (negative pressure wound therapy) applies controlled sub-atmospheric pressure to a wound through a sealed dressing connected to a pump. The catalog stocks the Smith & Nephew PICO 7 single-use system (10cm through 25cm sizes, single and two-dressing kits), PICO 14 with pump (multiple sizes and configurations), and Renasys traditional canister-based NPWT components including soft ports, foam blocks, transparent film and Y-connectors.

Are wound dressings in the catalog sterile?

Most advanced wound dressings (foam, alginate, silver/antimicrobial, hydrogel, hydrocolloid, transparent film, silicone, collagen, biological) are sold sterile in individual packaging. Gauze pads and sponges are available in both sterile and non-sterile formats. Sterility status is confirmed in the product description for each SKU. Sterile dressings carry expiration dates and require intact packaging at the point of use.

Can hospitals order wound dressings in bulk?

Yes. Wound dressings are stocked in case and pallet quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, long-term care facilities and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for the highest-velocity SKUs - Mepilex foam, Allevyn foam, Tegaderm transparent film, Acticoat silver, AlgiSite alginate and Mepitel silicone contact layer are the most commonly automated lines. Multi-category consolidated delivery scheduling is available for facility-wide procurement. Contact our team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.

What wound dressings should be included in a facility formulary?

A comprehensive wound dressings formulary typically includes a foam line (Mepilex or Allevyn) for moderate-to-heavy exudate, an alginate or gelling fiber line (AlgiSite, Maxorb, Exufiber) for heavy exudate, a silver/antimicrobial line (Acticoat or Mepilex Ag) for bioburden management, transparent film for IV sites (Tegaderm or Opsite), a silicone contact layer (Mepitel) for fragile wound beds, hydrogel (Iodosorb or amorphous) for dry wounds, sterile gauze pads in standard sizes, and a collagen or NPWT option for chronic and stalled wounds. MAP Medical builds consolidated formulary packages matched to facility type and clinical volume - contact our team for an assessment.
