Ingredients
Polyethylene, Polypropylene.
Uses
The product is made from non-woven fabric, designed to cover and protect acute wounds and surgical wounds.
Instructions for use
Step 1: Clean the wound area using saline solution, clean water, or an appropriate antiseptic solution. If an antiseptic solution is used, ensure it is completely removed by rinsing again with saline solution or clean water.
Step 2: Remove the product from its packaging, cut it to the desired size and shape, and fix it onto healthy skin surrounding the wound.
Step 3: Peel off the protective paper and attach the adhesive side to the auxiliary dressing prepared separately. Choose the auxiliary dressing based on the amount of wound exudate. If the product does not adhere well to the auxiliary dressing, secure it with surgical tape around the edges.
Step 4: Place the product's surface, combined with the auxiliary dressing, in contact with the wound and secure it according to the specific type of auxiliary dressing used.
Step 5: When removing the product for replacement, do so gently from the edges to avoid disrupting the wound. If bleeding occurs during removal or if the wound is fragile with insufficient exudate, use a syringe to apply saline solution or clean water or place saline-soaked gauze between the product and the wound to ease removal.
Step 6: The product should be used until the exudate seeps through the auxiliary dressing. However, it is recommended that it be replaced as soon as possible (at least once daily).
