Territory Surgical Supplies specialises in the supply of a wide range of products for the healthcare environment. The company offers medical, veterinary, pharmaceutical, dental and laboratory products as well as consumables. Medical dressings supplied by the company include dressing packs, adhesive dressings, alginate dressings, burns dressings, combine dressings, hydrocolloid dressings, hydroactive dressings and hydrogel dressings. Alginate dressings are formulated to absorb wound exudates and maintain a moist environment in the wound area by forming a gel-like covering over the wound. These medical dressings are made from soft non-woven fibres derived from seaweed and extremely lightweight as well as dry in constitution. Alginate dressings are capable of absorbing wound exudates several times their own weight and are supplied in the form of pads, ropes or ribbons.
Hydrocolloid dressings contain a gel-forming polymer suspension, gums and adhesive on a film or foam base. These medical dressings are formulated to create a moist environment in the wound area without producing any particulate or toxic contaminant. The adhesive in the dressing directly in contact with the wound wears off and removal of the dressing does not cause any discomfort to the patient. Hydrocolloid medical dressings are available in various types and include transparent dressings, contour dressings, pressure relieving dressings as well as ulcer dressings.
