FAQs

How often should I change the dressing?

Change the dressing when it becomes saturated with exudate or as directed by your healthcare professional, which may vary depending on the amount of exudate and the wound's condition.

Can I reuse a Kliniderm dressing?

No, Kliniderm dressings are single-use and should be discarded after removal.

What should I do if the dressing sticks to the wound?

Gently moisten the dressing with sterile saline solution to ease removal. If it sticks badly consult your healthcare provider.

Where should I store the dressings?

Store dressings in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.

Is Kliniderm suitable for all wound types?

Kliniderm dressings are best suited for moderate to highly exuding wounds. They may not be appropriate for dry wounds or wounds with minimal exudate.

What size dressing should I use?

Choose a dressing size that covers the entire wound bed and extends slightly beyond the wound edges. Your healthcare professional can guide you.

Can I shower with the dressing on?

Yes, but avoid prolonged exposure to water, and ensure the dressing remains sealed and dry.

Troubleshooting

Dressing is not adhering to the skin.

Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free of any lotions or oils. Consider using a skin-prep product to improve adhesion.

Exudate is leaking through the dressing.

The dressing may need to be changed more frequently. Consider using a more absorbent dressing or assessing the wound for potential complications.

Skin irritation or allergic reaction.

Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Assess for possible allergic reaction to the dressing or other components.
