Non-woven island dressings consist of a non-woven fabric strip, which is coated on one side with an adhesive and absorbent pad in the middle. This device is used in health care facilities to create an optimal healing environment, even on difficult-to-dress areas. The non-woven island dressing has an adhesive boarder those seals around the wound while the soft non-adherent pad absorbs any light drainage without disrupting the healing tissue.
