Dressing Application:
The size of the dressing selected should allow the
absorbent pad to overlap the wound edge by at least 1 cm.
1. Peel open the package and
remove the dressing
3. Remove entire release
liner.
4. Center absorbent pad over
the wound.
5. Stretch dressing to
desired tension.
The dressing tension is proportional to:
-How much the dressing is stretched when it is applied.
-How large the circumference of the limb or the size of
the
abdomen.
6. Apply adhesive areas to
intact surrounding skin.
7. Tension can be reduced
after application by cutting some of the
bands.
2. Grasp the two edges of the
dressing and gently tug to release the
liner.
