Fleece dressings: reliable wound protection for the skin

Non-woven dressings play a major role in wound care and are part of the basic equipment of every medicine cabinet, doctor's surgery and care facility. Thanks to the material composition of non-woven dressings, they achieve high skin compatibility and absorbency. They are therefore ideal for treating various types of wounds. They are used, for example, to cover minor injuries or larger wounds after surgical procedures.

What are fleece dressings?

Non-woven dressings are wound care dressings made of soft, synthetic fibers. They differ in their structure from conventional gauze dressings and are generally not fibrous. This means that they do not leave behind any small fibers that could irritate wounds. Non-woven dressings are therefore a skin-friendly and gentle option for wound care.

The high absorbency of non-woven dressings makes it possible to absorb wound secretions effectively and quickly without the wound drying out. The breathable properties of non-woven dressings make it possible to keep the wound environment optimally moist, which promotes the healing process. Non-woven dressings can be used for both initial treatment and long-term wound care.

What are fleece compresses used for?

Non-woven dressings have a wide range of applications in patient care. First and foremost, they are used to protect wounds from dirt, bacteria and other external influences. Thanks to their absorbency, they can optimally absorb wound secretions and thus reduce the risk of infection. They also protect the wound from friction and pressure.

Non-woven dressings are used for a variety of wound types, including

  • Abrasions
  • Slight cuts
  • Postoperative wounds
  • Chronic wounds

Sterile non-woven dressings are essential after operations to create a hygienic wound environment and minimize the risk of infection. They are also useful in long-term care, for example for chronic wounds or pressure ulcers. The soft, non-irritating surface of the compresses ensures maximum comfort.

Types of non-woven compresses

There are different types of non-woven dressings for the various areas of application, which are used depending on requirements and wound type.

Sterile vs. non-sterile non-woven dressings

The most important differentiating criterion for non-woven dressings is the question of sterility. Sterile dressings are essential for open wounds or after surgical procedures to ensure an environment that is as sterile as possible and to prevent infections. Sterile non-woven dressings are packaged airtight and are only suitable for single use.

Non-sterile non-woven dressings are often used as an outer protective layer or padding. They are particularly suitable for less critical wounds where direct contact with the wound surface is less of a problem. Non-sterile dressings can also be used to pad dressings or as a protective layer under a medical plaster.

Various compress sizes

Non-woven dressings are available in various sizes to meet the different requirements of wound care. Smaller non-woven dressings of around 5Ă—5 cm are particularly suitable for small cuts or abrasions, while the larger non-woven dressings from 10Ă—10 cm are ideal for treating post-operative wounds or larger skin injuries. Choosing the right size plays a decisive role, as the wound should be completely covered for optimum protection.

Compresses for special purposes

There are specific types of non-woven compresses, such as eye compresses, depending on the intended use. Eye compresses are specially designed to treat injuries in the sensitive eye area. The anatomy of the eye and the surrounding skin requires the compress to be optimally adapted while providing sufficient protection.

Like non-woven dressings for non-specific purposes, eye dressings are made of soft, absorbent materials that protect the eye from external influences and absorb wound secretions. They are ideal for use after eye operations, for eye injuries or irritations. They can be used to soothe swollen or irritated eyes.

Advantages of non-woven compresses

Non-woven dressings offer many advantages over other dressing materials and are therefore a preferred choice in wound management.

  • Absorbency: One of the biggest advantages of non-woven dressings is their high absorbency. Wound secretions such as blood or pus are easily absorbed without the wound remaining too moist or drying out. This reduces the risk of infection and can help to speed up wound healing.
  • Skin-friendly: The particularly soft and non-fibrous material of the non-woven compresses is particularly skin-friendly. Skin irritation and allergic reactions occur much less frequently, making them an ideal choice for patients with sensitive skin in particular.
  • Breathability: Another advantage of non-woven dressings is their breathability. This ensures that a certain amount of air circulation is possible while the wound remains protected from external influences. Good ventilation of the wound is particularly important for the healing process.
  • Flexibility and adaptability: Fleece dressings are extremely flexible and can therefore be easily adapted to the respective part of the body. This is particularly advantageous for wounds that are located in areas that are difficult to access or move. They can therefore be easily adapted to the shape of the body without impairing wound healing.

Application of fleece compresses

The application of non-woven dressings is very simple. First, the wound is thoroughly cleaned and treated with a skin antiseptic to remove dirt and bacteria. The fleece dressing is then gently applied to the wound without applying unnecessary pressure. If necessary, for example in the case of moving parts of the body, the compress can be fixed in place with a bandage or plaster to prevent it from slipping. Care should be taken to ensure that the compress adheres well without irritating the skin, especially on sensitive areas of the body such as the eye. It is essential to change the compress regularly to keep the wound clean and promote the healing process.
