Is it waterproof?
Yes. Clear film dressings are fully waterproof, allowing patients to shower or bathe without removing the dressing, while still protecting the wound.
Can the dressing be used on infected wounds?
No. Transparent film wound dressings are not recommended for infected or moderate/heavily exuding wounds, as they are occlusive and may trap moisture or bacteria. For infected wounds, use a more absorbent or antimicrobial dressing.
How often should I change transparent medical dressing?
Typically, it can stay in place for up to 5–7 days, depending on the condition of the wound and skin. Change it if it becomes loose, soiled, or if fluid accumulates underneath.
Does it allow the wound to breathe?
Yes. While waterproof, the film is semi-permeable, allowing oxygen and moisture vapor exchange, which supports a moist healing environment and reduces risk of maceration.
Can it be used as a secondary dressing?
Absolutely. Transparent wound dressing are often used to secure other dressings like alginate, foam, or gauze, especially on contoured areas of the body.
