Mode of Use/Application

Clean the site according to institutional policy and procedures. Prepare and clean the skin surrounding the tracheostomy tube to remove excess moisture.
If needed, the dressing may be cut to shape or size.
Remove the Algidex Ag® Tracheostomy Dressing from the pouch. Locate the "pre-cut" opening and position it around the stoma or tracheostomy tube. Apply with the silver (dark side) toward the patient's skin.
If additional fixation is required, transparent film dressings or tape may be used to help secure the dressing.

Removal & Change Frequency

The tracheostomy site should be inspected frequently during the early stages of treatment to ensure skin integrity and clear airway. The dressing can be left in place "undisturbed" for up to seven days, or until the foam pad becomes saturated with exudate.
Remove retention dressing, if applicable. Lift the Algidex Ag® Tracheostomy Dressing from around the tube and discard according to institutional policy.
