Dressing Application
Applying the 365 Non Woven Island Dressings is hassle-free. Follow these steps for optimal results:
- Choose a dressing size large enough to provide a margin that adheres to dry healthy skin.
- Peel the two white paper liners from the dressing to expose the absorbent pad and adhesive border.
- Position the absorbent dressing pad centrally over the wound.
- Gently press down the adhesive border onto the skin.
- Smooth the entire dressing from the centre toward the edges using gentle pressure to enhance adhesion.
Frequency of Dressing Change
Monitor the dressing and change it as needed. If exudate seeps through the cloth backing, it's time for a change. Typically, 365 Non Woven Island Dressings can stay in place for up to seven days, depending on clinical conditions.
Dressing Removal
When it's time to remove the dressing, do so gently. Peel and lift one corner, supporting the skin while peeling in the direction of hair growth. Especially for repeated applications or on patients with fragile skin, exercise caution to prevent skin damage.
Precautions
Prior to dressing application, address any bleeding at the wound site. Remember not to stretch the dressing or skin during application, as it can lead to skin trauma. These dressings are not waterproof and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always consult your healthcare professional if the wound's condition worsens.
