Wound Care Supplies

Home Care Delivered carries a wide variety of wound dressings and wound cleansers from manufacturers, such as Smith & Nephew and Johnson & Johnson.

Alginates

Highly absorbent calcium alginate dressings are derived from seaweed. Placed into the wound as a dry fiber, they quickly absorb exudate and convert to a gel, facilitating moist wound healing. Recommended for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate.

Antimicrobials

Products capable of destroying or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. Several advanced-care wound care products contain timed-released antimicrobial agents.

Basic Dressings

Woven and non-woven sponges and wraps in absorbent and non-absorbent type. Fabrics may include cotton, polyester or rayon. Available packaged in individual sterile packs as well as bulk - non sterile packs.

Collagen Dressings

Collagen dressings are manufactured in sheets, pads, particles, and gels. They may be used as primary dressings for partial and full-thickness wounds, infected and non-infected wounds, tunnelling wounds and wounds with minimal to heavy exudate.

Composite Dressings

Composite dressings may be used as primary or secondary dressings for partial- and full-thickness wounds with minimal to heavy exudate, healthy granulation tissue, necrotic tissue (slough or moist eschar), or mixed wounds (granulation and necrotic tissue)

Compression Dressings

Compression dressings include a variety of products including cotton paste bandages or Unna's boot, elastic wrap bandages, and self-adherent wrap bandages. 3 and 4 layer kits are also available.

Contact Layer Dressings

These dressings provide an interface between the wound and the dressing, which protects the fragile healing tissue. These dressings are generally placed directly over the wound or after the application of a topical medication.

Foam Dressings

Foam dressings provide thermal insulation to the wound, create a moist healing environment, are nonadherent, and remove easily. Foams may be used in conjunction with topical antibiotics for infected wounds.

Hydrocolloid Dressings

Protect fragile skin and areas of the body affected by urinary and fecal incontinence and/or frictional forces. Most hydrocolloid wafers react with wound exudate to form a gel-like covering to protect the wound and maintain a moist environment.

Hydrofiber Dressings

Similar in function and use to alginates, hydofiber dressings absorb excess exudate and form a gel substance to facilitate moist wound healing.

Hydrogel and Amorphous

Because of their high water content, hydrogels donate moisture to a dry wound to help maintain moisture and provide a cooling action. Gel/hydrogel dressings are indicated for infected and noninfected wounds and for minimally draining wounds.

Hydrogel Dressings and Sheets

Gauzes and non-woven sponges may be saturated with hydrogel to help dry wounds maintain a moist wound bed. Sheet forms contain hydrogel in pad form.

Impregnated Gauze

Gauzes impregnated with a variety of products to help wound healing.

Skin Protecting

A skin protective barrier is recommended for prevention of skin breakdown. Products containing mentholatum, zinc ozide and/or dimethicone are available to meet a variety of needs.

Specialty Absorptive Dress.

Tapes

In a range of sizes, types and materials, medical tapes are used to secure dressings and tubes in place.

Transparent Film Dressings

Adhessive and waterproof, transparent dressings are thin and breathable. Transparent film dressings maintain a moist environment, promoting granulation tissue formation and autolytic debridement of slough and eschar.

From sterile water and normal saline to spray wound cleansers, a variety of products are avaliable to cleanse wounds.
