Multigate Non-Woven Split Dressing – Precise Protection for Drains and Tubes The Multigate Non-Woven Split Dressing is a sterile, highly absorbent medical swab specifically designed for managing drainage sites. Featuring a pre-cut Y-split, this dressing fits securely around tubes, catheters, and drains, providing a clean and protective barrier that supports the healing process. Constructed from a premium polyester and polyethylene blend, these dressings offer four times the absorbency of traditional cotton gauze. This makes them an ideal choice for carers, nurses, and healthcare providers looking for a reliable, low-linting solution for clinical or home-based wound care. Why Choose Multigate Non-Woven Split Dressings? Managing a drainage site requires a dressing that remains secure without interfering with medical tubing. These split dressings are engineered to wrap neatly around insertion points, ensuring the surrounding skin remains dry and protected from excess fluid. Their low-linting properties are particularly important for preventing irritation and reducing the risk of fibers sticking to the wound bed or entering the drainage site. Key Features & Benefits Superior absorbency: Provides up to four times the fluid-wicking capacity of standard cotton gauze to manage moderate drainage effectively. Y-split design: Pre-cut for convenience, allowing the dressing to be applied easily around tubes, catheters, and drains without the need for scissors. Low-linting material: Minimises the risk of loose fibers interfering with the wound or causing secondary irritation. Individually sterile: Each pack is guaranteed sterile until opened, ensuring maximum hygiene for clinical and surgical applications. Soft and conformable: The non-woven fabric is gentle on the skin and easily conforms to different body contours for patient comfort. Available Variants Code 67-558D – 10cm x 10cm: Large format split dressing, supplied in a pack of 2 pieces per sterile packet. Indications for Use Post-operative drainage sites Tracheostomy tube management Catheter and cannula insertion sites Chest tube and PEG tube exit sites Management of moderate exudate in surgical wounds How to Use Prepare: Cleanse the skin around the tube or drainage site according to your local clinical protocol or healthcare professional's advice. Apply: Open the sterile pack and slide the pre-cut Y-split of the dressing around the tube or catheter so it sits flush against the skin.
