How does this non-adhering dressing work?

This Non-adherent Dressing protects the wound, minimizing pain and trauma with its petrolatum loaded mesh. It protects the fragile tissue in wounds with a unique structure featuring a small mesh size. This helps to prevent tissue adherence to either the Adaptic Dressing or the secondary dressing on top.

• The unique structure knitted cellulose acetate fabric mesh impregnated with a petrolatum emulsion is intended as a primary dressing to be used with a secondary dressing
• Mesh allows for exudate to pass easily through to a secondary absorbent dressing, helping to prevent maceration of the wound surface and minimizing the risk of pooling
• This adaptic non adhering dressing removes cleanly from the wound, minimizing trauma and pain during dressing changes
• In turn, this reduces the risk of tissue adherence to both systagenix adaptic non adhering dressing and the secondary dressing, and minimizes patient pain

Inappropriate systagenix adaptic non adhering dressing selection that causes the dressing to adhere to the wound bed can cause trauma and pain when the dressing is removed.2 Dressings that adhere to the wound bed may result in additional practitioner time and use of resources.

How to apply Syatagenix Adaptic Dressing?

1. Dressing preparation: If needed Adaptic may be cut to size with sterile scissors.
2. Dressing application:
   1. Place Adaptic dressing directly over the wound using surgical tongs or forceps and smooth in place around the wound.
   2. If more than one piece of Adaptic is required, ensure dressings overlap, to avoid secondary dressing adherence to the wound. The overlap should be minimized to prevent the occlusion of holes.
3. Secondary dressing application: Cover Adaptic with a secondary dressing such as Tielle. Choose the secondary dressing based on the level of exudate. Apply any secondary cover or retention/compression bandage.
4. Dressing change and removal: Dressing change frequency is dictated by good wound care practice and will depend on the condition of the wound. Adaptic may be left in place for several days depending upon the amount of exudate.
