Choosing a Wound Dressing

Dressing selection generally depends on the amount of exudate, whether the wound bed needs moisture retained or fluid absorbed, and the condition of the surrounding skin.

  • Non-adherent and silicone-faced: used where surrounding skin is fragile or dressings are changed frequently.
  • Foam and super-absorbent: used for moderate to heavy exudate.
  • Hydrogel and hydrocolloid: used where a moist wound environment is intended.
  • Calcium alginate: used in cavity and heavily exuding wounds.
  • Island and adhesive dressings: used for minor wounds and post-operative cover.

Dressing choice should be made by a qualified clinician based on the individual wound and the patient's circumstances.
