FAQs

What types of wounds are Kliniderm dressings suitable for?

Kliniderm superabsorbent dressings are suitable for moderate to highly exuding chronic and acute wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers, and burns up to 2nd degree when using Clinical Foam Lite Silicone.

How often should I change the dressing?

The frequency of changing the dressing depends on the amount of exudate. Follow your healthcare professional's guidance.

What is the correct way to apply the dressing?

Clean and dry the wound according to local protocols, apply the dressing directly to the wound, and ensure the white hydrophilic side is in contact with the wound bed. Secure with an appropriate secondary dressing.

Can I reuse a Kliniderm dressing?

No, Kliniderm dressings are designed for single use only. Dispose of the dressing after each change.

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

Gently moisten the dressing with saline solution before removal to reduce the risk of adherence.

Where can I purchase Kliniderm dressings?

Kliniderm dressings are available through various medical supply stores and pharmacies.

Is the silicone coating safe for all skin types?

Yes, the silicone coating is designed to be gentle on the skin, reducing the risk of irritation. However, individual sensitivities may vary.

Troubleshooting

Dressing is not adhering properly.

Ensure the skin around the wound is clean and dry. Consider using a hypoallergenic tape or bandage for securement.

Wound appears to be too dry.

Assess the wound exudate level. If the wound is not exuding, consider using a less absorbent dressing or consult with a healthcare professional.

Dressing change is painful.

Ensure gentle removal of the dressing. If pain persists, consult a healthcare professional. Consider changing the dressing sooner.
