Megapharma Needled Wadding 10 Rolls 4x10 cm

Needle-punched wadding is a versatile device, suitable for both domestic and professional use, designed to ensure maximum hygiene when dressing small wounds, cuts or abrasions. Thanks to the needle-punched texture and careful workmanship, this product ensures a compact and consistent structure, easy to shape according to the needs of the dressing. The 4x10 cm roll format allows for optimal management when cutting or tearing, always maintaining high product integrity.

The wadding is delicate on the skin but robust in its absorbent capacity, making it ideal both for dabbing blood and secretions and for protecting the skin from any chafing caused by bandages or medical devices. The rolls are individually packaged to preserve hygiene and allow practical use even outside the home or in environments where sterility is essential. The application is simple: the material can be positioned directly on the area to be protected and then fixed with plasters, bandages or any other material suitable for dressing.

The proposed needle-punched wadding represents the ideal choice to guarantee a soft and protective barrier, minimizing the risk of external contamination and promoting the correct management of skin lesions during the healing phase. Easily transportable thanks to its compact packaging, it is a valid ally both in the home and for healthcare workers.

Therapeutic Indications

Thanks to its composition and specific processing, needle-punched wadding is suitable for various uses in the field of primary and secondary dressings. It is recommended for cleaning superficial skin lesions, for the absorption of exudates from wounds and for the protection of areas of the body subjected to compressive bandages where a soft barrier is needed to reduce friction and excessive pressure. It can be used on both children and adults, in any situation where hygienic and protective support is needed.

Wadding is particularly useful during disinfection phases as it retains liquid solutions without loss of material, allowing thorough cleaning of the area to be treated without leaving fiber residues on the skin or lesion. In an outpatient or home setting, cotton wool can also be used to protect skin areas subject to friction or the formation of bedsores, representing a valid aid in the prevention and management of complications of fragile skin.

It also plays an important role in compressive dressings, ensuring uniform protection and constant absorption for the entire duration of the dressing. Thanks to its versatility, it can be adapted for multiple uses: from delicate removal of make-up or impurities on sensitive skin, up to use in laboratories as a filter element or support for other advanced dressings.

Composition

Main constituent: natural fiber of pure needle-punched cellulose, characterized by a particular mechanical processing that guarantees a compact and resistant structure, while maintaining a high softness to the touch.

The absence of aggressive or allergenic chemicals also makes it suitable for people with sensitive skin or in the presence of known allergies to synthetic materials. The wadding is free of dyes, added perfumes or any other potentially irritating additives. The material is subjected to rigorous controls during the production phases to guarantee the total absence of impurities and contaminants.

The particular needling process, obtained through dry weaving mechanisms that use thin needles, gives the wadding a high fiber strength, preventing the formation of lint or fibrous residues at the time of use. Furthermore, this structure allows to maintain a high absorbency capacity compared to traditional wadding, supporting the efficient management of exudates and liquids during dressings.

Contraindications

Do not use needled wadding in case of known or suspected hypersensitivity to cellulose or its derivatives. In case of allergic reactions or persistent redness, stop use immediately and consult a doctor.

The cotton wool must not be applied to serious infected wounds without prior medical indication, nor used for packing deep cavities or for uses other than external skin dressing unless specifically prescribed. Do not ingest the product; keep out of reach of children to avoid accidental inhalation of fibers or improper handling. Do not use the product if the packaging is damaged or opened before use, to avoid compromising the original hygienic conditions.

In the case of prolonged use, especially on hypersensitive or irritated skin, it is advisable to always monitor the treated area to exclude the appearance of adverse reactions or sensitization phenomena. Consult your doctor if you have any doubts about the use or the condition of the lesion to be treated.

Safety of the Drug for the Species

The needle-punched wadding is safe for human skin contact thanks to its production of selected natural fibres, which are naturally hypoallergenic. It is not treated with potentially toxic substances or aggressive whitening agents, which makes it suitable even for damaged or particularly delicate skin, such as that of the elderly or children.

Prolonged or repeated use does not entail particular risks when the hygienic conditions of use are respected and it is not applied on infected skin independently. The solid and uniform structure of the rolls minimizes the risk of detachment and dispersion of fibers, reducing the possibility of foreign body complications in superficial lesions.

It does not contain latex, phthalates, parabens or other substances that frequently cause allergies or skin sensitization. Even in the case of long dressings, the wadding maintains its structural integrity unaltered, promoting the natural transpiration of the skin and limiting local humidity. Safety is also guaranteed by the resistant packaging which isolates the product from the external environment until use.

Precautions

Use only on clean, dry skin, avoiding direct contact with heavily exuding wounds without a secondary barrier dressing. Cut or tear only the necessary amount of wadding to reduce waste and avoid contamination of the remaining part. Wash your hands carefully before and after each handling of the roll and store what remains in a cool, dry place, resealing the original packaging or using clean, suitable containers.

In the presence of injuries where the presence of foreign bodies or infection is suspected, always consult your doctor before using cotton wool as a primary dressing. To minimize the microbiological risk, do not leave the material in contact with non-sterile surfaces and never reuse the same segment of cotton wool for subsequent dressings.

Comply with disposal according to local regulations for medical waste, especially if the material has come into contact with blood, secretions or potentially infectious biological fluids. If in doubt about alterations to the product (changes in colour, odor or consistency), avoid use and request new packaging.

Method of Administration

Remove the roll of cotton wool from the package only after carrying out thorough hand hygiene. Cut or tear the desired quantity, taking care to always choose intact and uncontaminated portions. Apply directly to clean, dry skin area; in the presence of wounds, proceed according to the recommended practice: first cleaning with disinfectant, then positioning of the needled cotton wool.

To increase comfort, the wadding can be shaped and rolled to best adapt to the affected anatomical area, ensuring uniform distribution of pressure in the compression bandages. Secure with adhesive plasters, elastic net or bandages as needed and according to medical protocol.

Renew the dressing when the cotton wool appears saturated or dirty, at least once a day in case of wounds, to maintain maximum hygiene and support healing. Do not reuse previously used residues to avoid cross-contamination.

Treatment Program

The use of needled wadding must be modulated based on the type of lesion, the degree of exudate and the level of protection you wish to obtain. For small superficial wounds, a daily application is generally sufficient; in case of abundant exudate, it is advisable to replace the cotton wool every time significant saturation is observed, to avoid skin maceration or bacterial proliferation.

In the context of compression bandages, replace the cotton wool every time you change the bandages, respecting the duration indicated by the healthcare professional. In situations of prolonged use to prevent bedsores, check the condition of the skin daily and replace the material if necessary, to always maintain optimal conditions of hygiene and comfort.

If used for personal hygiene or to remove substances from the skin surface, use a new portion for each use, avoiding contaminating the residual packaging. Adapt the treatment protocol according to the indications of the healthcare personnel in the case of fragile patients or those with specific needs.

Target Species

The needled wadding is designed for use on humans, in particular on subjects who require delicate, absorbent and protective dressings for skin lesions. It is suitable for both adults and children, being particularly useful in subjects with fragile skin, at risk of bedsores, or in those who need frequent dressing changes.

Use in the veterinary sector is only possible upon indication of a specialist, but the product has been designed and tested in compliance with the standards required for the human sector. The compatibility with different skin types, including those that are particularly sensitive or predisposed to allergic reactions, makes it versatile for multiple contexts of use.
