Preparation: If necessary, debride the wound in accordance with standard protocol. Cleanse and irrigate the wound site. Cleanse surrounding skin and dry thoroughly. Clipping of excess hair is recommended for patient comfort. If patient's skin is fragile, or draining is expected to go beyond the wound edge, a skin barrier such as 3M Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film may be applied. Application: Select dressing size appropriate for the size of the wound. Tegaderm Alginate dressings may be trimmed to fit the wound site. Apply dressing to the wound bed, without overlap onto the surrounding skin. Loosely pack deep wounds. Cover with appropriate secondary dressing. During Use: Observe the wound site to ensure secondary dressing is intact and there is no leakage. Monitor for signs of infection. If infection occurs (which may be signaled by fever, increased pain, redness, swelling, or an unusual odor or discharge), implement appropriate medical treatment. Tegaderm Alginate dressings may be used on infected wounds only under the care of a health care professional. Changing Dressing: Remove secondary dressing and non-gelled alginate dressing. Rinse away remaining gel with gentle irrigation. If dressing appears dry, saturate with sterile saline to aid in removal. Dressing may be removed using sterile forceps or gentle irrigation.
Alginate dressings should not be used on minimally exudating wounds. Inadequate wound drainage could lead to adherence of the dressing to the wound site. Stored at room temperature. Avoid excessive heat and humidity.Do not use if package is damaged or open.
