Description

This Smith Nephew item is a sterile dressing with a 2mm sheet of dark iodine paste, biodegradable modified starch microspheres (cadexomer) and polyethylene glycol. These are patches that absorb exudation and remaining inflammatory debris to minimize microbial growth. The paste is housed between two polyester gauze pads that facilitate handling and must be removed to apply the dressing. It is recommended to treat conditions with chronic secretion and below compression. It can be placed on contaminated ulcers that have been previously checked and treated with clinical protocols. Suggested for use on pressure ulcers, diabetic foot or venous leg ulcers. Not suitable for patients sensitive to iodine or other dressing components. Do not use in children, infants, pregnant women and patients with renal dysfunction or thyroid conditions.

Instructions for use

Wash hands before and after, wear gloves, clean wound with water or saline solution, apply.

Pharmaceutical Advice

Plasters, adhesive bandages or dressings are patches that have a sterile gauze pad in the centre, surrounded by an area that sticks to the skin. They are used to protect open wounds, prevent infection and facilitate the healing process.

There are different types of plasters depending on the type of injury. To choose the right dressing, you need to consider the conditions the wound will be subjected to. They come in multiple sizes, materials, colours, flexibility, and can even be water-resistant. They may also have an additional ingredient with antiseptic properties to ensure a better healing process.

It is essential to clean the wound with water and soap, disinfect it and carefully dry the area with a sterile gauze before applying a dressing to any type of wound. Afterwards, simply remove the protective elements and make sure that the gauze pad, not the adhesive part, completely covers the wound.

Remember that the dressing is intended to protect the skin until it forms a protective scab. Unless the wound is in a rubbing area, it is preferable to remove the plaster once the scab has formed so that it can heal completely.

Please note that plasters are only indicated for blistering or minor bleeding. If the wound is very large or deep, you should consult your doctor, who will be able to assess how you should to proceed.
