User guide of 3M 2019 Adaptic Non-Adhering Dressing
Refer to the instructions for use. Select a size of ADAPTIC Dressing that is larger than the wound. Prepare the wound according to wound management protocol. Ensure skin surrounding the wound is dry. Remove the ADAPTIC Dressing from the box.
- If needed ADAPTIC Dressing may be cut to size with sterile scissors.
- Place ADAPTIC Dressing directly over the wound using surgical tongs or forceps and smooth in place around the wound.
- If more than one piece of ADAPTIC Dressing is required, ensure dressings overlap, to avoid secondary dressing adherence to the wound. Overlap should be minimized to prevent occlusion of holes.
- Cover ADAPTIC Dressing with a secondary dressing such as one from the KERRAFOAM Dressings. Choose the secondary dressing based on the level of exudate.
- Apply any secondary cover or retention/compression bandage.
- Dressing change frequency is dictated by good wound care practice and will depend on the condition of the wound. ADAPTIC Dressing may be left in place for several days depending upon amount of exudate.
