Leukoplast, non-woven compresses, non-sterile

Non-sterile non-woven compresses in 4- and 6-ply layers—softer than gauze, economical to use.

Description

These non-sterile non-woven compresses are the soft alternative to gauze compresses for all applications outside the sterile field. They feel more pleasant against the skin than woven compresses and are more comfortable for both users and patients.

They are available in four sizes and in 4- or 6-ply versions. The 6-ply version offers more cushioning and absorbency where needed—for simple cleaning tasks, the 4-ply version is sufficient.
