Sterility is essential for absorbent dressings, especially when treating open or surgical wounds, to prevent infection and promote safe healing. Sterile dressings minimize the risk of introducing bacteria and are often required in clinical and home care settings. Most medical-grade dressings, including the UrgoClean AG, 6" x 8", are provided sterile, ensuring maximum safety for wound care. There are both sterile and non-sterile options available to suit different needs, but sterile dressings are generally preferred for open wounds.
