Primapore Adhesive Dressings

Primapore is a sterile, low-adherent adhesive wound dressing built for post-operative and post-procedure care — the kind of dressing clinicians reach for when they need to cover a surgical incision, laceration, or minor wound in one clean step. Each dressing pairs a soft absorbent pad with a breathable non-woven polyester backing and a gentle all-over adhesive border, so there's no separate taping required. The result stays put through movement while allowing the skin to breathe.

Because incisions and suture lines vary, Primapore comes in a range of rectangular sizes to match the wound rather than forcing you to trim or overlap. Shorter options like the 4" x 3-1/8" (66000317) suit smaller wounds and cannulation sites, while the 4" x 8" (66000319), 4" x 11.75" (66000321), and 4" x 13.75" (66007140) cover longer surgical incisions such as orthopedic or abdominal closures. All are individually wrapped and sterile, making them equally at home in the OR, the clinic, and home wound care.

Buyers typically ask two things: how absorbent is it, and will it hurt on removal? The central pad wicks light to moderate exudate away from the wound bed, and the low-adherent contact layer lifts off without disturbing new tissue or clinging to the wound — an important detail for fragile or post-surgical skin. The conformable backing flexes with joints and body contours, helping the dressing survive daily activity without lifting at the edges.

Primapore sits within our broader Wound Care range. If you're comparing coverage options, it's worth looking alongside other adhesive bandages and general dressings to match absorbency and size to the wound at hand. For facilities and caregivers stocking post-op supplies, keeping several Primapore sizes on hand covers most closures without improvising.
