What is a compressed dressing?

A compressed dressing is a sterile wound dressing that has been vacuum-packed to a much smaller size. It expands to full size when moistened, letting you carry more dressings in less space without losing sterility or absorbency.

How do you use a compressed dressing?

Open the sterile packaging, moisten the dressing if required so it expands, and apply it to the wound to provide clean coverage and absorbency. Secure it with a bandage or tape as needed.

Why use compressed dressings in a first aid kit?

Their compact, space-saving form makes compressed dressings ideal for grab bags, survival kits, travel kits and any first aid kit where space and weight matter, while still offering full-size sterile wound coverage when needed.

What sizes of compressed dressing are available?

Our compressed dressings are available in a choice of sizes, including a compact 5cm x 5cm option, so you can select the right dressing for your kit. Choose your size on the product page.
