Solvaline N Wound Dressing, Low-adherent is a adhesive bandage - first aid type.

INTENDED USES: For lightly to moderately exuding wounds, for wounds in the post-operative phase,for first aid, e.g., of cuts and abrasions, for 2nd degree burns

CLAIMED BENEFITS: Solvaline N dressing pads consist of a highly absorbent viscose/polyester core covered on both sides with a finely perforated polyethylene film. Exudate is rapidly absorbed through the perforations on the polyethylene film. Solvaline N is low-adherent and thus allows virtually painless and atraumatic dressing changes.

Product Information

A first-aid type adhesive bandage (e.g., Band-Aid or similar product) is a wound cover with a pad size of less than 4 square inches [1]. The adhesive bandage protects the wound and scab from friction, bacteria, damage, and dirt, making the healing process of the body less disturbed. Some of the dressings have antiseptic properties. An additional function is to hold the two cut ends of the skin together to make the healing process faster. [2] 

They come in different sizes and are packaged individually to maintain sterility. Some  variations are sheer, Woven, Blue Metal Detectable, Knuckle, Fingertip, Butterfly Closure

Is it covered by Medicare Part B?

People with Medicare Part B (beneficiaries) who need to change surgical dressings at their homes and who are not being cared for by a home health agency may have specific types of dressings covered by Medicare. Dressings need to be considered medically necessary for treatment of a surgical or surgically treated wound. Medicare has guidelines that establish what is considered medically necessary and how often an item can be used.
