Product selection

Compare the item details

A wound dressing should match the product type and instructions selected by the treating clinician. This collection includes AQUACEL Ag EXTRA, Mepilex soft foam, Alldress composite, Exuderm Satin and DynaDerm hydrocolloids, Tegaderm transparent film and a NuMed bordered hydrocolloid dressing. The listings have different sizes, materials and constructions. They are not equivalent because they share a shape or cover a similar area. Keep the prescribed dressing name and measurements available when ordering replacements. Check whether the stated size describes the full product or another measured part of it, and confirm the quantity supplied. Ask the clinician before changing a dressing type or care routine.

  • Match the clinician’s specified dressing type and model.
  • Check the dimensions and measurement description.
  • Confirm individual dressings versus boxes or other packages.
Can Medrax choose a dressing based on a wound description?

The treating clinician should assess the wound and direct dressing selection. Medrax can help identify the specified product and discuss the ordering requirements.

Does a larger dressing provide the same treatment as a smaller one?

Size alone does not establish equivalence. Material, construction and the clinical plan matter. Request the exact product and size directed by your care team.

Are the 6 × 6-inch dressings equivalent?

No. The catalog includes different product families with that size, including hydrocolloid and AQUACEL Ag EXTRA listings. Dimensions alone do not match material or construction. Keep the clinician-selected family and reference, and resolve the AQUACEL supplier/manufacturer-number discrepancy before requesting that item.
