FAQs

How often should I change the dressing?

Dressings can be left in place for up to 7 days, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Change the dressing if it becomes soiled, leaks, or if the wound condition changes.

Can I shower with the dressing on?

Yes, the 365 Film Island Dressing is showerproof. However, avoid direct, forceful spraying of the dressing.

What should I do if the wound looks infected?

If you notice signs of infection such as increased pain, redness, swelling, pus, or fever, remove the dressing and consult your healthcare professional immediately.

Is this dressing suitable for deep wounds?

No. The 365 Film Island Dressing is best suited for superficial wounds with light to moderate exudate. Deep wounds require different care and dressings.

Can I cut the dressing to fit the wound?

It is not recommended to cut the dressing, as this could compromise its sterility and effectiveness. Choose the appropriate size for your wound.

What is the shelf life of the dressing?

Check the packaging for the expiration date. Do not use the dressing after the expiration date.

What are the ingredients of the dressing?

The dressing is made of a latex-free, semi-permeable polyurethane film membrane coated with a hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive, and an absorbent, non-adherent wound pad.

Troubleshooting

Dressing is not adhering properly.

Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free from oils and creams before application. Make sure the dressing size is appropriate for the wound and that it extends onto healthy skin.

Dressing is leaking.

The dressing may be too small or the wound is producing too much exudate. Change the dressing more frequently or consider a more absorbent dressing.

Skin irritation or redness around the dressing.

This may be due to adhesive sensitivity. Remove the dressing and consult a healthcare professional. Consider trying a different type of dressing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Cleanse the wound thoroughly with saline or a suitable wound cleanser. Ensure the surrounding skin is clean, dry, and free from soaps, creams, and oils.
Application: Select a dressing size that provides a margin of adherence to dry, healthy skin around the wound site. Remove the backing paper and carefully apply the dressing over the wound.
Adhesion: Gently smooth the dressing edges to ensure proper adhesion to the skin.
Dressing Duration: Dressings can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the wound and the amount of exudate. Check regularly for signs of leakage or deterioration.
Removal: Gently peel and lift one corner of the dressing from the skin. Support the skin while peeling the dressing off by stretching horizontally, and in the direction of hair growth.
