USES
Keep-Dri Dressings have been designed for use with any
dressing type and on most body parts. In hospitals Keep-Dri Dressings are
used in the after care of most surgical procedures, injuries and fractures
to protect dressings, casts and wounds from getting wet when the patient
washes or showers.
In general different sizes and styles of Keep-Dri Dressings
are more suited to particular injuries than others. The table below can
be used as a broad guide.
