Abdominal pads, also known as belly bandages or tummy pads, are adhesive dressings that are applied directly over dressings or bandages after abdominal surgeries. They are designed to absorb any discharge, fluids or blood that may seep from the surgical incision site as it heals. Abdominal pads come in different sizes depending on the location and extent of the surgery. https://www.zupyak.com/p/4417176/t/understanding-abdominal-pads-the-essentials
