3M Adaptic Digit Non-Adhering Dressing for Fingers and Toes

The 3M Adaptic Digit Non-Adhering Dressing is a wound dressing designed specifically for the fingers and toes, a wound location that standard flat dressings often struggle to fit and secure well. It is made from a unique, tacky, silicone-coated fabric that contacts the wound without sticking to it, covered with a tubular bandage that wraps around the whole digit for a snug, secure fit without needing separate tape or wrapping.

This design addresses the practical challenge of keeping a dressing in place on a small, mobile body part that is used constantly for grip and everyday tasks, reducing the chance of the dressing slipping or unravelling between changes. Being non-adhering at the wound contact layer, it also helps minimise the pain and trauma that can come from removing a stuck dressing from a sensitive digit wound.

It is supplied under five catalog numbers, likely reflecting different digit sizes to fit a range of patients from adults to children.
