Dynarex Sterile Transparent Island Dressings are made of a transparent film and an absorbent pad into one dressing for an ideal wound healing environment. These Transparent Dressing are a thin, clear, sterile dressing that keeps out water, dirt, and germs, and yet is semipermeable to let skin breathe. The central pad on the Island Dressing absorbs exudate and resists to stick to the wound surface.
