Yes, the Multigate Compose® Adhesive Island Dressing is supplied sterile and is intended for single use only. Always check the integrity of the packaging prior to use — if the packaging is damaged in any way, the dressing can no longer be considered sterile and should not be used.
No. The Compose® Island Dressing is labelled as single-use in accordance with ISO 15223 and must not be reused or reprocessed. Multigate does not supply reprocessing instructions for any products labelled as single-use. Once clinical use has finished, the dressing should be placed in the appropriate waste container.
A medical island dressing consists of a central absorbent pad — the 'island' — surrounded by an adhesive border that adheres directly to the skin around the wound. This design protects the wound site, absorbs exudate, and keeps the dressing securely in place without requiring a separate retention bandage or tape.
From an infection control perspective, any sterile items left over from an opened pack or procedure that have not been used are considered contaminated and should not be returned to stock for future patient use. Items should be disposed of in accordance with your facility's infection control and waste management policies.
