Why Are Transparent Plasters Widely Used in Hospitals and Clinics?

In the medical field, effective wound protection and visibility are essential for proper treatment and monitoring. Transparent plasters—also known as transparent adhesive dressings or film dressings—have become increasingly popular in hospitals, clinics, and healthcare centers worldwide. Their unique design combines clear visibility, strong protection, and breathability, making them an indispensable part of modern wound care.

1. What Are Transparent Plasters?

Transparent plasters are made from clear polyurethane (PU) or similar transparent films coated with a gentle adhesive. They are thin, flexible, and designed to protect wounds while allowing healthcare professionals to monitor healing progress without removing the dressing.
Each Sunmed transparent plaster typically includes:
Transparent protective film: Allows direct wound observation.
Skin-friendly adhesive layer: Provides reliable yet gentle adhesion.
Optional absorbent pad: Protects the wound site and absorbs minimal exudate.
Because of these properties, transparent plasters are now considered a next-generation wound protection solution in professional healthcare.

2. Why Transparent Plasters Are Essential in Hospitals and Clinics

(1) Continuous Wound Observation
One of the most valuable features of transparent plasters is that they allow visual inspection without removal. In hospital settings—especially for postoperative care, IV sites, or minor surgical wounds—doctors and nurses need to check wound conditions frequently. Transparent plasters let them monitor healing, detect early signs of infection, and assess exudate levels easily, without disrupting the healing process.
(2) Reduced Risk of Infection
Every time a dressing is removed, there’s a risk of introducing bacteria to the wound. Transparent plasters minimize dressing changes, which significantly reduces infection risks. The clear film acts as a protective barrier against water, dirt, and pathogens, keeping the wound clean and safe.
(3) Waterproof Yet Breathable Protection
Sunmed Transparent Plasters are made with advanced PU film, which is waterproof on the outside but breathable on the inside. This means that:
Patients can shower or wash without compromising wound protection.
Oxygen exchange still occurs, supporting faster natural healing.
This dual property is ideal for hospitals, where patient comfort and hygiene must be balanced.
(4) Flexible and Comfortable Fit
In clinical practice, patients often need to move or adjust positions. Sunmed’s transparent plasters are extremely flexible and stretchable, conforming to the contours of the body without peeling off. The thin, skin-like texture provides a barely noticeable feeling, making it perfect for long-term use on sensitive skin areas.
(5) Gentle on Sensitive Skin
Hospital patients may have delicate or compromised skin due to surgery, medication, or prolonged illness. Sunmed’s transparent plasters use hypoallergenic medical-grade adhesives that are safe even for sensitive patients. They adhere securely yet can be removed easily without causing pain, redness, or residue.
