Low Exudate:
Note: Always handle using aseptic technique.
Prepare wound bed using standard debridement methods to ensure the wound is free of debris and necrotic tissue. The wound may be surgically debrided to ensure the wound edges contain viable tissue.
Cut the dry keramatrix® sheet into a piece slightly larger than the outline of the wound area. If the wound is larger than a single sheet, then multiple sheets may be used, overlapping edges as necessary. Hydrate the keramatrix® dressing by soaking it in saline water or Ringer's solution for two minutes prior to application. Place the edge of the sheet in contact with intact tissue and smooth the dressing so that it contacts the underlying wound bed. If multiple sheets are used, overlap adjoining sheets to provide coverage of the entire wound. After application, use an appropriate, non-adherent occlusive secondary dressing to maintain a moist environment. Ensure the dressing is well restrained.
Medium to High Exudate:
Note: Always handle using aseptic technique.
Prepare wound bed using standard debridement methods to ensure the wound is free of debris and necrotic tissue. The wound may be surgically debrided to ensure the wound edges contain viable tissue.
Cut the dry keramatrix® sheet into a piece slightly larger than the outline of the wound area. If the wound is larger than a single sheet, then multiple sheets may be used, overlapping edges as necessary. Note: If the wound has a high risk of maceration, the dressing should be cut so it does not overlap the periwound. Place the edge of the sheet in contact with intact tissue and smooth the dressing so that it contacts the underlying wound bed. If multiple sheets are used, overlap adjoining sheets to provide coverage of the entire wound. After application, use an appropriate, non-adherent occlusive secondary dressing to maintain a moist environment. Ensure the dressing is well restrained.
Change dressing every four to seven days.
