FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is an adhesive island dressing?

An adhesive island dressing is a sterile wound dressing with two parts: a soft, non-woven absorbent pad in the center (the "island") surrounded by a hypoallergenic adhesive border (the "sea"). The pad holds wound fluid and protects the cut. The adhesive border seals the dressing to the skin so it stays put through movement, showering, and clothing friction. AllaQuix® Basic is a medical-grade adhesive island dressing available over the counter.

What's the difference between the 4×4, 4×8, and 4×14 sizes?

All three have a 1-inch adhesive border. The pad inside is what changes:

  • 4×4 inch dressing, 2×2" pad, for small cuts and IV catheter sites.
  • 4×8 inch dressing, 2×6" pad, for moderate wounds and surgical incisions.
  • 4×14 inch dressing, 2×12" pad, for larger post-surgical sites.

The 4×8 is the most popular for home first-aid use.

Can I use AllaQuix® Basic on post-surgical wounds?

Yes. AllaQuix® Basic is designed for post-surgical incisions, including Mohs surgery sites and minor outpatient procedures. The non-adherent pad protects the suture line, and the hypoallergenic adhesive holds without irritating fragile peri-surgical skin. Always follow your clinician's post-op dressing-change schedule.

Is AllaQuix® Basic safe for sensitive or fragile skin?

Yes. AllaQuix® Basic uses a gentle, hypoallergenic adhesive designed to minimize irritation on wear and removal. It is suitable for sensitive skin, older skin, and pediatric use. For patients with known adhesive allergies, test a small area first.

Can I shower with the dressing on?

The adhesive border is moisture-resistant, so brief shower exposure is generally okay. However, the dressing is not fully waterproof. Avoid soaking the dressing (no baths, swimming, or extended water exposure). If the dressing becomes saturated, replace it.

How often should I change the dressing?

Change the dressing at least once daily, or sooner if it becomes wet, dirty, loose, or saturated with wound fluid. For post-surgical care, follow your clinician's schedule, which is typically daily for the first 7 to 14 days.

Is AllaQuix® Basic latex-free?

Yes. AllaQuix® Basic is 100% latex-free, making it safe for individuals with latex allergies or sensitivities.

Can I cut the dressing to fit a smaller area?

No. Cutting the dressing is not recommended because it compromises sterility and reduces the effectiveness of the adhesive seal. Choose the smallest size that fully covers your wound and the surrounding skin you want to protect.

Do I need a prescription?

No. AllaQuix® Basic is available over the counter without a prescription. It is the same medical-grade quality used in clinical settings, packaged for home and over-the-counter use.
