Product Information
AdvaCare is a CE, ISO and USFDA manufacturer and global supplier of Gauze Adhesive Bandages. The StayGuard™ brand of Gauze adhesive Bandages are internationally distributed and recognized for reliable quality and exceptional value. With distribution across developed and developing markets alike, our products are uniquely positioned as the brand of choice for medical professionals.
A gauze adhesive bandage, also known as self-adhesive island dressing, is a type of bandage that is used to protect and facilitate in the healing process of post-operative wounds and large skin injuries that require a higher level of protection than a regular bandage.
Like a regular bandage, gauze adhesive bandages have an array of uses, including securing a dressing in place, slow the rate of bleeding, shield the wound from further exacerbation, prevent the entry of dirt and bacteria into the wound, hold the skin together to accelerate the healing process, and some may have antiseptic properties.
Due to the adhesive nature of this type of bandage, it should not be applied directly to the wound. An initial base dressing is required to be laid over the wound first.
Some key properties for gauze adhesive bandages is that they must be durable enough to protect the wound, but retain a certain degree of flexibility to be able to move with the wearers movements and actions without coming undone. Small pores on the bandage material are also necessary for breathability, assisting in the healing process.
Gauze adhesive bandages are manufactured from adhesive, non-woven fabric that is highly absorbent. These properties make the bandage incredibly resilient and waterproof, offering superior protection against infections.
Bandages are widely used for both professional and consumer needs, in hospitals, clinics, senior living facilities, schools, and households.
Gauze adhesive bandages are composed of sturdy, non-woven spunlace, providing a flexible, comfortable feel for the wearer of the bandage.
The hypoallergenic seal provides a waterproof seal with the skin. This seal not only prevents water from entering, but also bacteria and other microorganisms which may evoke infection.
The range of gauze adhesive bandages offered by AdvaCare come in a plethora of different sizes and shapes to treat any wound located anywhere on the body, even awkward places such as the knees.
While primarily used on patients that have emerged from surgery to treat their wounds, gauze adhesive bandages can also be used for minor injuries, where enhanced defense against infections is desired.
Gauze bandages are available in one standard model, the EconoGuard model. It is an effective bandage that protects against infection, as well as being highly cost effective.

Usage:
Gauze adhesive bandages are ideal for protecting and facilitating the healing process of a cut, abrasion, blister, or other injury that is more severe than a minor injury, and requires a higher level of protection than that offered by a regular bandage. Gauze adhesive bandages protect injuries from friction, exposure, and further damage which may worsen the wound and consequently prolong the healing time.
To apply the bandage, ensure the wound is cleaned thoroughly to remove any debris or foreign bodies. Ensure the shape and size of the bandage is applicable to the area of the body that the bandage is being applied to. Place a dressing over the wound, and then apply the bandage with the adhesive pad over the wound. Take care not to touch the wound, as this may aggravate it. Changing the bandage and dressing daily is recommended. If the bandage gets wet or soiled, it should be replaced with a fresh bandage.
It is imperative that gauze adhesive bandages are not used if the packaging or seal is compromised. Evidence of this may suggest tampering or loss of sterility. If one should come across bandages inside comprised packaging, the correct course of action is to dispose of it quickly and safely.
Precautions:
- It is important that gauze adhesive bandages are not reused. Once used, the device is not fit to be salvaged for further used, as sterilization cannot be retained. Re-using bandages can result in infections being transmitted;
- Must prepare the bandages for use in a clean, sterile environment, absent of bodily fluids or other sources of contamination;
- Because this bandage is adhesive, a dressing should be laid over the wound first. Directly applying the adhesive bandage to the wound can result in burning the wound;
- Gauze adhesive bandages should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Failure to do so may dry the bandage up, decreasing its healing properties;
- Promptly and safely dispose of any bandages that have touched a potentially contaminated surface;
- If bandages have blood or any other bodily substance on it, it must be handled as biohazard waste.
