Description
The Leukomed T Plus Dressing is a sterile post-operative dressing that builds an absorbent wound pad into a transparent film cover. It is made for small to medium-sized wounds, including surgical wounds, that need both drainage cover and a secure, shower-proof seal.
- Film plus wound pad – the transparent film carries a central absorbent pad, so one dressing covers the wound and manages its drainage together.
- Secure yet skin friendly – the breathable film holds firmly once fully applied, while staying kind to the skin through the wear period.
- Shower-proof for up to a week – the water-repellent cover can be worn in the shower and stays in place for up to 7 days.
Pad Protection Under a Shower-Proof Film Seal
A surgical wound that drains needs a pad, but it also benefits from the sealed, watchable cover a film provides. This dressing joins the two: a central absorbent pad sits over the wound while the transparent film around it seals to the skin. The pad handles the wound's output while the film keeps the whole area covered and protected.
Once the film makes full contact with the skin, the dressing is waterproof and forms a bacterial barrier over the wound. It can be worn in the shower and left in place for up to 7 days, so changes follow the wound's progress rather than the calendar. Numbered release liners and the red handling tape guide a quick, accurate application.
Features and Benefits
Pad and Film Combined
- Central Absorbent Pad: The built-in wound pad absorbs wound output under the film cover
- Transparent Film Cover: The film border seals around the pad and lets the area around the wound be seen
- Bacterial Barrier: With full skin contact the film is waterproof and acts as a barrier to bacteria
Wear and Application
- Wear Time: The dressing can be worn for up to 7 days and in the shower
- Breathable and Skin Friendly: The film is breathable and kind to skin while holding securely in place
- Numbered Release Liners: Liners labelled 1 and 2, with the red handling tape, make application quick and easy

Why Choose the Leukomed T Plus Dressing?
Wounds that drain lightly should not need two products, one to absorb and one to seal. This dressing does both jobs in a single sterile application, then stays shower-proof for up to a week.
- Two jobs, one dressing – the central pad manages drainage while the film seals and protects, so there is no separate cover to fix over a pad.
- A barrier that holds – full skin contact makes the film waterproof and a bacterial barrier, keeping shower water and contaminants out.
- Guided application – numbered liners and the red handling tape sequence the application, reducing handling of the sterile surface.
- Seven sizes of pad and film – the range runs from 2 in x 3 in to 4 in x 14 in, so the pad-and-film format follows wounds of very different lengths.
Frequently Asked Questions
What wounds does this dressing suit?
It suits small to medium-sized wounds, and it is especially well suited to surgical wounds and post-operative care. The central pad manages the wound's output while the film seals the area.
How is it different from the film-only version?
This version builds an absorbent wound pad into the centre of the film, while the film-only version has no pad at all. Choose the padded version when the wound drains, and the plain film when it does not.
Can it be worn in the shower?
Yes, once the film has full contact with the skin it is waterproof, and the dressing can be worn in the shower. Pressing the edges down after application keeps that seal complete.
How long can it stay on?
It can be worn for up to 7 days, which keeps dressing changes infrequent while the wound progresses. Change it sooner if the pad saturates, the film lifts or the wound needs inspection.
Which sizes are available, and how are they sold?
Seven sizes run from 2 in x 3 in to 4 in x 14 in, and each size is its own item number in the size option above. Each of the seven sizes is supplied as a box of 50 sterile dressings.
Is this the genuine BSN Medical product?
Yes, this is the genuine sterile film-and-pad dressing made by BSN Medical under the Leukoplast wound care range. Every box carries the item number the manufacturer assigns to that size.
