This document provides instructions for using a hydrocolloid dressing with foam. The dressing is made of CMC granules and polyurethane foam and is available in various sizes from 5x5cm to 20x20cm. It is suitable for wounds with slight to moderate exudate as it absorbs exudate well and keeps the wound moist. The instructions explain how to apply the dressing, potential signs it needs changing like swelling or leakage, and cautions like single use only and storing in a cool dry place.
2. 1
Instructions For Use:
• Make sure the wound area is clean and dry before using dressing.
• Hydrocolloid dressing should be 2cm bigger than the wound area to make sure
that dressing could be cover the wound.
• If the depth of wound is more than 5mm, it is better to fill the wound with proper
material before using hydrocolloid dressing.
• It is not suitable for wounds with heavy exudates.
• When the dressing becomes white and swelling, it indicates that dressing should be changed.
• At the very beginning of using the dressing, wound area maybe enlarged, this is caused by
the debridement function of the dressing and it is normal phenomenon.
• The gel will be formed by the mixture of hydrocolloid molecule and exudates. As it looks like
purulence secretion, it would be misunderstood as the wound infection.
Just clean it with saline water.
• There maybe some smell from the dressing sometimes, and this smell could disappear
after cleaning the wound with saline water.
• Dressing should be changed at once when leakage occurred around the dressing.
