Warnings
Do not reuse the single-use dressing, as cross-contamination may occur and potentially lead to infection. Reprocessing, washing, disinfection, and/or resterilisation may compromise dressing characteristics, causing an additional risk of physical harm or infection to the user.
Cautions:
Do not use the dressing with oxidising solutions, e.g. hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide solutions, as this may cause product degeneration, which may lead to deterioration of the wound. Ensure that any other evaporation solution is completely dried off before applying the dressing.
Do not use if the package is damaged, as sterility of the dressing may have been compromised, potentially leading to infection.
Keep away from sunlight as it may impact product performance, which may lead to maceration.
Possible side-effects related to the use of wound dressings may include: skin irritation/inflammation, allergic skin reaction. maceration, pain, hypergranulation, and blistering.
Application:
Open the pouch and pick up the product from the packaging.
- Use the release liners to avoid touching the adhesive side and to ensure aseptic application.
- Remove the centre release liner.
- Apply the adhesive side towards the wound.
- Remove the remaining release liners, one at a time.
- Gently run your fingers around the edge of the product to ensure an even and smooth fit to the skin.
Removal:
The dressing should be changed when clinically indicated, when visible signs of exudate approach the edge of the foam or after 7 days.
Loosen the adhesive border before gently lifting the dressing away from the wound and removing the dressing. If the dressing is difficult to remove, it should be moistened with water or physiological saline solution until it removes easily.
