3M Nexcare active 360º adhesive bandage 30 units are suitable for preserving the natural moisture of the wound, stimulating the generation of epithelial tissue and speeding up the healing process. It is not advisable to leave wounds to air dry as this will not allow them to close naturally, scabs will form and healthy skin tissue will not grow. On the other hand, by covering these small injuries with adhesive dressings, flexibility is not lost and greater mobility is achieved, especially when they are located in joints such as the wrist, knee and elbow.
Nexcare 360° dressings are designed with a unique rhomboid shape that facilitates complete closure of the wound and provides adequate protection from infectious agents. They are hypoallergenic, adhere easily and securely and protect the wound from water, dust and friction. They are latex-free, so there is much less chance of the wound becoming irritated, reddened or contaminated. The plastic of which the dressings are made is resistant, waterproof and protects against external dirt and the proliferation of harmful micro-organisms.
Moreover, when the dressing is removed to change it, there is no loosening of the newly formed tissue and pain and bleeding are avoided. These adhesive plasters help to absorb wound secretions and create a protective layer over the wound, which helps to reduce the pain and tension that can be experienced in this type of injury. It is recommended that the dressing remains on the trauma until the skin unit has regenerated, which takes about 48 hours. In this way, the plaster acts as a physical protective barrier and will prevent the cut from falsely healing. Leaving a wound, however small, to heal in the air is not a good decision, as it may become complicated and require more complicated medical treatment.
