Every first-aid kit should contain at least 1 package of Telfa Dressing (50 count). Each Telfa dressing can be used on its own to cover sutured wounds, abrasions, and scrapes or it can be a primary top dressing for more exuding wounds and backed by a 2nd absorbent dressing. The Telfa Dressing gauze pads have a coating on both sides that will help stop it from sticking to the wound when applied as a primary dressing so it will not disturb any healing processes by pulling off any part of the scab. Topical ointments or creams can be applied to the wound or the Telfa Dressing and kept on the area without leeching out onto clothing or other dressings.
