Reinforced Gelling Fiber 2 x 2 in. Dressing Partial to full thickness wounds: -Pressure ulcers -Graft and donor sites -Venous, arterial and diabetic ulcers -Post-operative surgical wounds -Lacerations and abrasions -Cavity wounds -Trauma wounds -Superficial and partial thickness wounds Highly absorbent gelling fibers Cohesive fiber construction Directions for use: 1. Clean wound area with an appropriate wound cleanser such as Cardinal Health Wound Cleanser or normal saline solution. Dry surrounding skin thoroughly. 2. Remove dressing from packaging and if necessary cut dressing to size using sterile scissors. 3. Apply dressing over the wound bed leaving a 1/2-inch overlap. If wound is deep, loosely fill wound ensuring that the dressing does not overlap wound margins. Product will expand to fill the empty wound space once in contact with the exudate. Dressing can be pre-moistened with room temperature sterile water or saline solution before application. 4. Cover wound and this primary dressing with a non-occlusive secondary dressing to promote a moist wound healing environment. 5. All dressings should be monitored frequently. Remove dressing when clinically indicated, such as leakage, excessive bleeding, increased pain, or after a maximum of 7 days. Indications May be used for the management of moderate to heavy exuding, partial to full thickness wounds including: -Pressure ulcers -Graft and donor sites -Venous, arterial and diabetic ulcers -Post-operative surgical wounds -Lacerations and abrasions -Cavity wounds -Trauma wounds -Superficial and partial thickness wounds Can also be used to control minor bleeding in superficial wounds.
A sterile wound covering, typically made of a hydrocolloid, hydrofibre, or alginate (salts and acids extracted from seaweed), intended to produce a water-absorbent gel upon contact with wound exudate; it does not contain an antimicrobial agent. The device assists in wound healing by absorbing exudate in wounds (e.g., ulcers, burns, surgical wounds, lacerations, abrasions) for minimal wound maceration, allowing wound debridement, and creating a moist wound-healing environment. The device may be in the form of a flat sheet/film, ribbon, rope, foam, liquid, paste, or powder. After application, this device cannot be reused.
