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.

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 pieces per sterile packet.

Indications for Use

• Post-operative drainage sites

How to Use

1. Prepare: Cleanse the skin around the tube or drainage site according to your local clinical protocol or healthcare professional's advice.
2. 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.
3. Secure: If required, use medical tape or a secondary adhesive dressing to hold the split dressing firmly in place.
4. Monitor: Change the dressing regularly as part of your routine wound care or whenever it becomes saturated with fluid.
