ABD Pads- Abdominal Dressing Pads

What do ABD pads share in common with duct tape, Hummer vehicles, and the Internet? All were originally developed for the military before becoming available for civilian use. The acronym is short for ""Army Battle Dressing."" These large bandages could absorb a great deal of blood and block wounds better than ordinary bandages could. This makes them ideal for treating the kind of injuries that people may sustain in military battles.

With that said, being a soldier in combat is not the only situation where one might receive a gaping and serious wound. Thankfully, someone eventually recognized that. ABD pads can now be found in many doctors' offices and medical treatment centers, ready for use in situations involving heavy-draining fluids. Countless lives have been saved because of civilian access to these wraps. They are ideal when ordinary bandages are not enough.

Every medical practitioner should keep a few boxes of ABD pads handy. We say ""a few"" at minimum because the dressing may need to be changed multiple times. If you have none, you can stock up or restock with help from MedOnTheGo.com. The packs of ABD pads on sale at our store come in a few different sizes, and all are available for your use whenever you need them.
