Collection: Wound Care & First Aid

Older skin tears and bruises easily, and pressure areas need careful attention. MA&PA's wound care and first aid collection stocks the same supplies used by home health nurses: foam and film dressings such as Mepilex and Tegaderm, gauze pads and Kerlix rolls, gentle paper and cloth medical tapes from 3M, adhesive removers and skin barrier wipes, and disposable nitrile and vinyl gloves.

For everyday care, keep a small kit with gauze, tape, a few bordered dressings and a box of gloves. Gentle silicone and paper tapes are kinder to fragile skin than standard adhesive tape, and adhesive remover wipes help prevent skin tears when changing a dressing.

Orders over $50 ship free and orders placed by 2pm ship the same day. For deep, infected or slow-healing wounds, follow the care plan from your doctor or nurse.
