One island dressing line from the unit to discharge
Hospital units go through a lot of small, sterile dressings: IV catheter sites, post-procedure incisions, covering and securing devices, and the dressing a patient goes home with. AllaQuix® Basic covers all of those with one design in four sizes: a soft non-adherent pad inside a 1 inch adhesive border, so there's no separate tape.
Because AllaQuix® is FDA reviewed and cleared for over-the-counter use, the dressing applied on the unit is the same one a patient can buy to continue care at home. That keeps discharge teaching simple: one product name, one size, one routine.
Where Basic is used on the unit
- IV catheter sites (small and 4 × 4)
- Incision sites after minor and outpatient procedures
- Light to moderate draining wounds
- Covering and securing devices and other dressings
- Cuts and lacerations in the emergency department and urgent care
- Discharge dressings patients can continue at home

Four places the dressing goes
IV sites
The small island dressing and the 4 × 4 cover IV catheter sites without tape on the skin around them.
Post-procedure
A 4 × 4 or 4 × 6 over the incision, with the border on healthy skin. The non-adherent pad protects the incision line.
Long incisions
The 4 × 14 covers a long abdominal or back incision in one piece, with no overlapping bandages.
Discharge
Send patients home with the same size, so there's nothing new to learn at the first home dressing change.

Hemostatic gauze for patients who bleed easily
For minor cuts and abrasions in patients on anticoagulants or antiplatelets.
CHITOSAN
AllaQuix® High Performance 2 × 2

FAQ
Common questions from clinical and purchasing teams
What is an island dressing?
An island dressing, also called a bordered gauze dressing, is a sterile absorbent pad (the island) surrounded by an adhesive border. AllaQuix® Basic uses a soft non-woven pad that lifts away without sticking to the wound.
Which sizes do hospital units usually stock?
Most units start with the small island dressing (2⅜ × 2¾) for IV sites and small incisions, the 4 × 4 as the everyday size, and the 4 × 6 or 4 × 14 for longer incisions. See every size on the island dressing collection.
How many dressings are in a case?
The small island dressing comes in a case of 20 boxes of 50. The 4 × 4 and 4 × 6 come in cases of 12 boxes, and the 4 × 14 in a case of 10 boxes of 25.
Is AllaQuix® Basic sterile and latex-free?
Yes. Every dressing is sterile, individually wrapped and latex-free.
Can patients buy the same dressing after discharge?
Yes. AllaQuix® is FDA reviewed and cleared for over-the-counter use and sold online, so patients can continue with the same dressing at home.
Can we try it before ordering by the case?
