The Kemp USA 5" x 9" Sterile Combine ABD Pad is a high-capacity absorbent dressing used by trained responders to manage moderate to severe wound exudate and hemorrhage across large-surface injuries, surgical sites, and trauma scenarios requiring immediate hemorrhage containment.

The ABD pad functions as the primary absorption layer within a multi-component wound treatment system. Its fluffy cellulose inner fill rapidly wicks blood, plasma, and exudate away from the wound bed and disperses fluid throughout the pad, reducing maceration and extending dressing capacity. The soft non-woven outer cover is non-adherent, preventing enmeshment with healing tissue, sutures, or staples and enabling less traumatic dressing changes. Sealed edges prevent inner cellulose from linting into the wound and slow lateral strike-through onto clothing and equipment.

Authorized deployment roles include secondary dressing layered over wound packing gauze, primary dressing for large-surface injuries such as burns and eviscerations, pressure dressing under an elastic wrap for venous or capillary bleeding control, and post-surgical management of draining incisions. The pad's 5" x 9" dimensions provide full coverage of significant wounds with a single dressing. It is not a hemostatic agent, is not suitable for packing deep narrow wound tracts, and will not stop severe arterial hemorrhage, which requires tourniquet application and wound packing with appropriate gauze.

Sterility is guaranteed only when the peel-pouch is unopened and undamaged. Once opened, the pad must be used immediately or discarded. Staged pads require monthly or quarterly inspection for packaging integrity, moisture damage, and expiration date compliance, with stock rotated on a first-in, first-out basis.
