Indications

For health care professional applications, REPLICARE® Ultra dressings may be used in stage 1-4 wounds with light to moderate exudate, such as pressure injuries, leg ulcers, superficial and partial-thickness burns, superficial wounds, donor sites, and skin abrasions.

Contraindications

Do not use product on (1) ulcers resulting from infection, such as tuberculosis, syphilis, and deep fungal infections; (2) lesions in patients with acute vasculitis, such as periarteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosus, and cryoglobulinemia; or (3) third-degree burns.

Warnings and Precautions

During the body's normal healing process, unnecessary material is removed from the wound, which will make the wound appear larger after the first few dressing changes. If the wound continues to get larger after the first few dressing changes, discontinue use and consult a health care professional.

Should any signs of irritation (reddening, inflammation), maceration (over-hydration of the skin), hypergranulation (excess tissue), or sensitivity (allergic reactions) appear, discontinue use and consult a health care professional.

Do not use product if its packaging is open or damaged prior to use.

REPLICARE® Ultra is a single-use product. It should not be reused.

REPLICARE® Ultra dressing must be removed prior to radiation therapy.

Mode of Use/Application

The following are designed to act as general guidelines and should only be used under the supervision of a health care professional.

Cleanse the wound using sterile saline or a recommended commercial brand of wound cleanser. Gently pat dry the skin around the wound. Choose a dressing that allows for (1/2)" to 1" overlap of the wound. Remove the protective paper, exposing the adhesive surface. Use the clear, plastic handle to ensure aseptic application. Place the adhesive side to the wound and remove the handle. As REPLICARE® Ultra absorbs wound exudate, a gel is formed. When the gel reaches the upper film surface of the dressing, the dressing becomes white or opaque. Maximum absorbency is reached when the dressing becomes opaque and the exudate extends (1/2)" from the edges of the dressing.

Removal & Change Frequency

To remove the REPLICARE® Ultra dressing, lift one corner of the dressing and gently pull the dressing away from the wound. To aid in removal of the dressing, REMOVE* Adhesive Remover may be used. Gently cleanse the wound with tap water, sterile saline or a recommended commercial brand wound cleanser. Follow instructions for applying a fresh dressing.
