McKesson Composite Barrier Island Dressing, 6 x 6 Inch

McKesson Composite Barrier Island Dressing, 6 x 6 Inch

The McKesson Composite Barrier Island Dressing is a sterile, single-use wound dressing designed for individuals managing surgical incisions, cuts, abrasions, and other minor-to-moderate wounds. It features an absorbent, nonadherent central pad surrounded by a breathable adhesive border, giving you an all-in-one dressing that protects the wound while helping to defend against external contamination.

This composite design does the work of several products in one convenient piece. The soft central pad gently absorbs drainage without sticking to the wound, so dressing changes are more comfortable, while the adhesive border secures the dressing in place without the need for separate tape. A polyurethane film barrier creates an effective moisture barrier, letting you shower or bathe with added peace of mind, and the breathable construction supports a healthy healing environment. It can be used as a primary or secondary dressing to suit a variety of wound-care needs.

This 6 x 6 inch dressing includes a 4 x 4 inch central pad and is sterile for single-use applications. It is available in multiple purchase options, from a single dressing to a Box of 25 or a Case of 100, so you can stock the right amount for your routine. Many wound-care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below to order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is an island dressing?
A: An island dressing combines an absorbent central pad with an adhesive border in one piece, so the pad rests directly over the wound while the border holds everything securely in place—no separate tape required.

Q: Can I shower with this dressing on?
A: Yes. The polyurethane film creates an effective moisture barrier that allows you to shower or bathe while helping protect the wound from water and outside contamination.

Q: Will the pad stick to my wound?
A: No. The central pad is nonadherent, meaning it absorbs drainage without sticking to the wound bed, which helps make dressing changes gentler and more comfortable.

Q: Can this be used as both a primary and secondary dressing?
A: Yes. This versatile dressing can serve as a primary dressing placed directly over a wound or as a secondary dressing to cover and secure another dressing underneath.

Q: How many dressings come in a package?
A: It's offered in multiple options—choose a single dressing, a Box of 25, or a Case of 100 depending on how much you need.
