The dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the amount of exudate. Follow the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Can I cut the dressing to fit the wound?

Yes, you can trim the dressing to fit the wound. Ensure the trimmed edges are smooth to prevent lifting.

What should I do if the dressing leaks?

Change the dressing immediately if leakage occurs. Assess the wound and consider using a dressing with higher absorption capacity if the exudate is excessive.

Can I shower with the dressing on?

Troubleshooting

Dressing does not adhere properly.

Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free from oils or lotions before application. If necessary, use a skin prep product to improve adhesion.

Wound appears to be drying out.

If the wound is not exuding, consider using a different dressing that provides a more humid environment or consult with a healthcare professional.

Skin irritation or redness around the dressing.

Check for signs of allergy. If irritation persists, remove the dressing and consult with a healthcare professional.

Dressing is difficult to remove.

Moisten the dressing with sterile saline to loosen the adhesive before removal. Remove the dressing gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clean the wound according to standard wound care protocol. Ensure the surrounding skin is clean and dry.

  3. Frequency: The dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the amount of exudate. Monitor the wound and surrounding skin for any signs of infection or irritation.
  4. Removal: Gently peel back the edges of the dressing to remove it. If the dressing is sticking, moisten it with sterile saline to ease removal.
  5. Compatibility: Biatain Silicone Foam Adhesive Dressings are generally compatible with most topical treatments but always check with a healthcare professional for specific compatibility concerns.
  6. Storage: Store the dressings in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
