What is an abdominal pad?
|
|
Abdominal pad also called as ABD pad is a pad for the absorption of discharges from abdominal wounds or for packing off abdominal viscera to improve exposure during surgery.
Abdominal Pads are filled with cellulose fibers, making them super-absorbent. The fibers quickly absorb and disperse fluids laterally, to prevent pooling and maceration. The backing is constructed of a hydrophobic material, preventing strike-through. All edges are sealed to prevent linting.
