Wound care
Wound care covers everything from a plaster over a graze to a silicone foam dressing on a chronic ulcer. The right product depends on the wound: how deep it is, how much it weeps, and how fragile the surrounding skin is. This page sits at the top of the wound care range and links down to each specific dressing type below.
FAD stocks the major wound care brands side by side, including Coloplast, Smith and Nephew, Hartmann and Mölnlycke, so the choice comes down to the wound rather than the supplier.
- For everyday cover, start with the wound dressing collection.
- For cleaning, packing and padding, see gauze and combine and absorbent dressings.
- For fragile or healing skin, the non adherent dressings and silicone dressings collections lift away without trauma.
- To manage infection risk, see the antimicrobial dressings and silver dressings range.
If you are not sure which dressing suits a particular wound, our wound care and injury guidance hub walks through the decision. Start with the dressing type that matches the wound, then narrow by brand and size within each collection.
Always read the instructions for use.
