Abstract
The present invention relates to disposable absorbent wound dressings comprising skin health treatment additives for the treatment and prevention of Stage I-IV partial and full thickness pressure wounds. The disposable dressings conform to the anatomical shape of the body of a human and are capable of absorbing large quantities of wound drainage or exudates. Such disposable dressings are low-adherent and facilitate painless removal without disturbing a healing tissue bed. Such disposable wound dressings of the present invention are especially advantageous for the treatment of Stage I-IV pressure ulcers located in the sacral/coccyx area of the spine.
