Features of the 7.6 x 10.2 cm (3 x 4 in) Telfa Pads

• Non-Adherent Surface: Perforated film prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound, reducing trauma during removal.

• Absorbent Core: Efficiently wicks away moisture and exudate to keep the wound site clean.

• Individually Sterile: Each pad is wrapped in a sealed pouch to ensure an aseptic application every time.

• Intermediate 3 x 4 Size: Perfectly sized for larger cuts, scrapes, or surgical incisions that exceed the size of a standard bandage.

• Durable Construction: Can be cut to fit specific shapes without linting or losing its structural integrity.

How to Install and Store Your Box of Telfa Pads

For efficient access, store the 100-count box of Telfa pads in the "Dressings and Bandages" section of your wall-mounted first aid cabinet. Its rectangular box design allows for easy stacking. Keep the box in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the sterile seals. In high-traffic environments, we recommend keeping a smaller stack of these pads in a portable trauma bag for immediate response on-site.

How to Maintain Your Sterile Dressing Inventory

Maintaining a fresh supply of Telfa pads is vital for workplace safety. During monthly inspections, verify that the individual pouches are not crushed or punctured, as this would compromise their sterility. While Telfa pads are highly durable, they do have an expiration date; ensure your stock is rotated using the "first-in, first-out" method. Restock your box of 100 as soon as you reach the final 20 units to ensure you never run out during a critical situation.

Usage Tips for Painless Wound Care

To use, first clean the wound with an appropriate antiseptic. Open the sterile Telfa pouch and place the shiny, perforated side directly onto the wound. Secure the pad in place using medical adhesive tape or a stretch gauze bandage. Because the pad is non-adherent, it is particularly effective for wounds that are slightly "weeping" or moist. For optimal hygiene, change the dressing daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.

FAQ Regarding 3 x 4 in Telfa Sterile Pads

Can I use these on burns?

Yes. Because they do not stick to the skin, Telfa pads are excellent for protecting minor burns after a cooling gel has been applied.

Is there a difference between Telfa and regular gauze?

Yes. Regular gauze has a textured weave that can "grow" into a healing wound. Telfa has a smooth film coating that stays on top of the wound, making removal effortless and pain-free.

Can these pads be cut to a smaller size?

Yes, Telfa pads can be cut with sterile scissors to fit smaller or uniquely shaped wounds without falling apart or leaving lint behind.
