When you’re running a busy clinic, aged care facility or community nursing service, you need wound care products you can depend on every single day. That’s where bpositive comes in — a hospital-grade range designed for the practical, essential dressing needs clinicians face most often.

While our ActivHeal range is developed for more complex or clinically challenging wounds — where antimicrobial protection, advanced exudate management or specialist technology is needed — bpositive focuses on the everyday fundamentals and the staples that keep patient care moving, at a price point that genuinely supports New Zealand healthcare.


Why BPositive belongs in your wound care toolkit

Hospital-grade essentials for daily care
The bpositive range covers the foundational dressings used across general practice, aged care, community nursing and outpatient settings. Its products are designed to perform consistently and comfortably, supporting a wide range of straightforward wound care needs.

This includes:

  • absorbent non-adherent pads for everyday wound protection

  • conforming gauze for secure, flexible support

  • waterproof films ideal for outpatient and minor post-procedure care

They’re reliable, versatile and clinically trusted — exactly what frontline teams need for routine wound care tasks.


Delivers strong value without compromising care

One of the biggest pressures for New Zealand providers is the rising cost of consumables. bpositive is built with cost-efficiency in mind, giving clinicians a dependable, hospital-grade option that fits tighter budgets without sacrificing patient outcomes.

Clinics often tell us they notice:

  • lower per-dressing spend

  • less waste

  • fewer unnecessary dressing changes

  • consistent patient comfort and performance

With bpositive you can achieve great care on any budget. 


Designed to work alongside your full wound care range

bpositive isn’t here to replace everything else on your shelves — it’s here to strengthen what you already do. It complements, rather than competes with, advanced ranges like ActivHeal.

Think of it this way:

  • BPositive = your high-quality, hospital-grade everyday essentials

  • ActivHeal = your advanced solutions for complex or clinically challenging wounds

Together, they give your team the coverage and flexibility they need across all wound types.


Every purchase gives back

One of the standout features of bpositive is its Buy1Help1 social impact programme. Every time you purchase bpositive products, you help support meaningful community, health or humanitarian initiatives.

It’s a simple but powerful idea: your everyday wound care choices can improve care for others too.


Why BPositive matters for New Zealand healthcare

At a time when budgets are tight and patient needs continue to grow, BPositive offers a smarter, more compassionate choice.

It gives New Zealand clinicians:

  • dependable quality

  • fairer pricing

  • products designed for real-world settings

  • a tangible way to support wider community wellbeing

And most importantly, it helps ensure patients receive the standard of care they deserve — without compromise.
