Buying advice

When choosing a skin adhesive consider the wound type, how long you need the dressing to stay on, and any skin sensitivities. Transparent film dressings offer easy monitoring, while silicone-based adhesives are gentler on delicate skin. For active areas, look for flexible or elastic options, and for moist wounds, hydrocolloid or silicone dressings help maintain an optimal healing environment.
