Description
The Leukomed Absorbent Dressing is a sterile post-operative dressing that pairs an exudate-managing wound pad with an air-permeable adhesive cover. It is made for short-term care of minor to medium-sized wounds, where the pad absorbs low to moderate exudate while staying kind to the skin around the wound.
- Absorbent wound pad – the central pad takes up low to moderate exudate from minor to medium-sized wounds, helping keep the wound covered and protected.
- Kind to the skin – the air-permeable cover lets the skin breathe, and the pad is designed not to stick to the wound surface as it heals.
- Rounded edges that stay put – the rounded adhesive edges do not roll up, so the dressing stays in place through the wear period.
Post-Operative Coverage That Absorbs Without Sticking
A surgical wound needs a cover that manages drainage without disturbing the healing surface underneath. This sterile dressing centres on an absorbent pad that handles low to moderate exudate, so fluid is drawn into the pad instead of pooling against the skin. The pad is designed not to stick to the wound, which keeps routine changes gentler on new tissue.
The cover around the pad is air-permeable, letting the skin breathe while the wound stays protected from outside contact. Its rounded adhesive edges lie flat and do not roll up, so the dressing stays where it was placed instead of lifting at the corners. Because the dressing is radiotransparent, it can stay in place during X-rays rather than being removed for imaging.

Why Choose the Leukomed Absorbent Dressing?
Post-operative care is simpler when one sterile dressing absorbs, protects and stays in place without sticking to the wound. This dressing covers that brief in five sizes, so the same familiar pad can follow a wound from a short incision to a long one.
- Absorption without adhesion – the pad manages exudate yet is designed not to stick, so protection does not come at the cost of painful changes.
- Fewer interruptions – radiotransparency means imaging does not force a dressing change, and rounded edges resist the corner lift that ends wear early.
- Skin-kind wear – the air-permeable cover keeps the surrounding skin comfortable through the short-term wear period.
- A size for the incision – five sizes run from 3 in x 6 in up to 4 in x 14 in, each supplied as a box of 50 sterile dressings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What wounds is this dressing made for?
It is made for short-term post-operative care of minor to medium-sized wounds, including surgical incisions that drain lightly to moderately. The absorbent pad covers the wound while the adhesive border holds the dressing in place.
How much drainage can the pad handle?
The pad manages low to moderate exudate, drawing drainage into the pad so it does not pool against the skin. Wounds with heavy drainage need a more absorbent dressing system than this one.
Does the pad stick to the wound?
No, the pad is designed not to stick to the wound surface as it heals. That non-stick contact keeps routine dressing changes gentler on new tissue.
Does it need to come off for an X-ray?
No, the dressing is radiotransparent, so it can stay in place while X-rays are taken. Leaving it on avoids an extra dressing change purely for imaging.
Which sizes are available, and how are they sold?
Five sizes run from 3 in x 6 in to 4 in x 14 in, and each size is its own item number in the size option above. Every size is sold as a box of 50 sterile dressings.
Is this the genuine BSN Medical product?
Yes, this is the genuine sterile post-op dressing made by BSN Medical under the Leukoplast wound care range. Each box is printed with the manufacturer's item number for its size.
