FAQs
How often should I change the dressing?
Change the dressing as directed by your healthcare provider or when the dressing is saturated with exudate. The frequency will depend on the amount of wound drainage.
Can I reuse the dressing?
No, Zetuvit Plus Dressing Pads are single-use items. Always discard the dressing after use.
What should I do if the dressing sticks to the wound?
Make sure the hydrophobic side of the dressing is against the wound. If it sticks, gently moisten the dressing with sterile saline before removing it. If the problem persists, consult your healthcare provider.
Are there any contraindications for using this dressing?
Consult with your healthcare provider to ensure the dressing is appropriate for your specific wound type and condition.
Where should I store the dressings?
Store the dressings in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Always check the expiration date before use.
What is the green layer for?
The green layer provides protection against contamination and helps to prevent strike-through, ensuring the wound remains covered.
Can Zetuvit Plus be cut to fit the wound?
While it's generally recommended to use the appropriate size, in some cases, your healthcare professional may advise trimming the dressing. Always use clean scissors.
Troubleshooting
Dressing is not absorbing exudate effectively.
Ensure the correct dressing size is used, and the dressing is making good contact with the wound bed. Consider more frequent dressing changes if exudate is very heavy.
Dressing is sticking to the wound.
Check application technique and ensure the hydrophobic side is facing the wound. If adhesion persists, consult with a healthcare professional.
Skin irritation around the wound.
Ensure the dressing is not applied too tightly. Check for allergies to any dressing components. Consult a healthcare professional if irritation persists.
