How to use

Preparation

Prepare the wound according to wound management protocol. Ensure skin surrounding the wound is dry. Remove the INADINE™ dressing from the packaging with sterile foreceps.

Application

Remove one backing paper, peel off the dressing from the remaining backing paper and apply it directly to the wound.The knitted construction of INADINE™ dressing significantly reduces the level of contact with the wound. Cover and secure with a secondary dressing of choice.

Changing

Fading of the colour of the dressing indicates the loss of antiseptic efficacy and this is when the INADINE™ dressing should be changed.

It may be changed up to two times daily in the initial phase. With heavily infected wounds, it may also be used in conjunction with systemic antibiotics. Should there be any difficulty when changing the dressing, removal may be helped by gentle stretching of the dressing at diagonally opposite corners.

The use of INADINE™ dressing may be continued for as long as signs of infection or particular threat of infection of the wound area are present. If infection recurs the use of INADINE™ dressing can be resumed and continued at any time
