Wound care line infused with Arm & Hammer baking soda

NORTHFIELD, Ill. — Medline Industries Inc.’s Curad brand has unveiled Curad SoothePlus, a new first aid line that adds the benefits of Arm & Hammer baking soda for extra care.

Medline said Monday that Curad SoothePlus wound care products — including large and small gauze pads, medium rolled gauze and medium nonstick pads — go beyond the basics and cover large, troublesome and difficult to bandage wounds while helping dressings stay clean and fresh.

The company noted that hospitals use dressings with ingredients like charcoal reduce wound odor. Curad SoothePlus brings this idea to consumers by infusing its gauze and pads with the soothing, odor-fighting properties of Church & Dwight Co.’s Arm & Hammer baking soda.

The low-linting, nonwoven, pillowy soft blend of SoothePlus dressings absorb excess drainage to promote a superior healing environment, according to Medline. And along with alleviating irritating wounds and eliminating bacterial odors, the gauze and pads help protect wounds directly or can be used to affix other dressings.

“First aid can be confusing. But before you grab and go from the wall of options, remember that all bandages are not the same,” stated Martie Moore, chief nursing officer for Curad and adviser to the American Nurses Foundation of the American Nurses Association. “Baking soda is naturally known to soothe minor irritations and is an option to consider to neutralize and relieve stings, and provide relief.”

Currently, SoothePlus products are available at Meijer stores. The new products are slated to roll out to Kroger, Rite Aid, H-E-B and Publix stores this spring, Medline said.

SoothePlus joins Curad’s roster of other hospital-quality first aid products, including the Germ Shield antimicrobial gel, Soothe & Cool hydrogel pad, QuickStop! bandage and spray, and Truly Ouchless bandages.
