Primapore is a soft conformable dressing which can be used to cover all wounds, particularly those in curved areas of the body, such as surgical wounds or general cuts and lacerations. The Dressings consist of a Melolin type pad and a water resistant low allergy Hypafix backing.
Features a soft breathable cover, highly absorbent pad, conformable pad and cover. The polyester wound contact layer on the Melolin pad enables the passage of blood or exudate into the highly absorbent pad and minimal on dressing removal. The low allergy acrylic adhesive is evenly spread onto the non-woven backing surface providing a safe and secure dressing fixation over the wound site.

Hi Sarmad, no the plastic backing is part of the dressing and cant be separated from the spongy part. This plastic part protects the wound from moisture and bacteria getting into the wound. For a dressing without the backing you would need to go for a gauze dressing or a non adhesive foam dressing (e.g. Allevyn)

hi, just wondering if we need to remove the plastic cover from the sponge located at the center of bandage or that's for water absorption.
