Wound Care

365 Transparent Island Dressings is a range of a sterile, self adhesive, showerproof transparent film wound dressings incorporating an absorbent, non-adherent pad. Film Island Dressings are made from a latex free, semi-permeable polyurethane film membrane, coated with a hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive.

365 Transparent Island dressings are breathable, allowing good oxygen and moisture vapour exchange. They are showerproof and impermeable to liquids, bacteria and viruses to reduce the risk of wound infection.

Transparent Film Island Dressings help to;
• Facilitate wound healing
• Provide a moist wound healing environment
• Enable patients to shower with their dressings in place
• Protect newly forming tissue to aid wound healing• Prevent contamination by dirt or bacteria, thus reduce the risk of wound infection.

Indications for Use
365 Transparent Island Dressings are primarily indicated to be used on acute wounds with low levels of exudate. 365 Transparent Island Dressings are therefore suitable for use with;
• Superficial cuts and abrasions
• Clean, closed, post-operative wounds
• Minor burns
• Donor sites
• Chronic wounds with low levels of exudate

Preparation;

1. Use existing clinical protocols to clean/debride the wound in preparation for the application of 365 Transparent Island Dressings.
2. Ensure that the skin surrounding the wound is clean, dry and free from grease or soap substances.
3. The clipping of hair at the wound site may improve dressing adhesion, shaving is not recommended.
4. Select a dressing that is of a suitable size and shape. Choose the dressing size large enough to provide a margin that adheres to dry healthy skin around the wound site.

Dressing Application
1. Peel the two white paper liners from the dressing to expose the absorbent pad and adhesive border
2. Position the absorbent dressing pad centrally over the wound.
3. Gently press down the adhesive border onto the skin surround the wound.
4. As indicated by the blue arrows remove the transparent release film on the back of the dressing from the centre outwards.
5. Smooth the entire dressing from centre towards the edges using gentle pressure to enhance adhesion.
6. Without disturbing the dressing, observe the wound daily for signs of infection or other complications (or as recommended by heathcare professional).
Frequency of Dressing Removal
The frequency of dressing change will depend on the clinical circumstances. 365 Transparent Island Dressings may be left in place for up to seven days. If signs of clinical infection are observed the dressing should be removed and professional advice obtained.

Dressing Removal
1. To remove 365 Transparent Island Dressings from the wound, gently peel and lift one corner of the dressing from the skin
2. Support the skin whilst peeling the dressing off by stretching the film horizontally and in direction of hair growth. As the film is stretched, the adhesive releases and the film turns an opaque white colour.
3. Care should be taken to avoid skin damage with repeated applications, or on patients with fragile skin.
3. Clean the wound in order to remove any remaining exudate before wound assessment or the application of new dressings.

The dressing has a low adherent wound contact mesh layer, a water resistant backing layer to prevent strike-through. The dressing has a multi-layer highly absorbent core with rapid fluid uptake, which forms a gel when in contact with exudate, locking away fluid, even under compression. 365 Super Absorbenst have a high moisture vapour transfer rate to prolong wear time.

Indications for use
Suitable for use with moderate to high level exudate exuding wounds. For example;
• Pressure ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Leg ulcers
• Post-operative wounds
• Superficial and partial thickness burns
• Shallo/granulating wounds.

Dressing Application
1. Cleanse the wound in accordance with local clinicial protocols.
2. Select a dressing size that allows a 3 cm margin over/around the wound.
3. Apply to the wound with the white side down ("blue side to the sky") and secure with a secondary dressing (tape or bandage). For large wounds several dressings can be placed side-by-side.
4. Dressing use should always be re-evaluated if wound exudate levels change.

Frequency of Dressing Change
• The use of super absorbent dressings should always be re-evaluated if wound exudate levels change.
• During the early stages of wound management, observe the wound daily for signs of infection or other complications (or as recommended by local clinical protocols).
• The frequency of dressing change is determined by the condition of the wound and local clinical protocols.
• Dressings can be left in place for up to 7 days, or until the dressing becomes saturated with exudate, whichever is sooner.

Dressing Removal
1. Careful and correct dressing removal is vital to minimise the risk of damaging the wound bed and new granulating tissue.
2. Remove the retention dressing or bandage and carefully lift the dressing away from the wound.
3. The dressing should be removed slowly and carefully.

365 Silicone Foam Wound Dressing is a sterile self adhesive dressing to manage moderately exuding wounds whilst minimising pain and skin/wound trauma during dressing changes. The hydrophobic adhesive layer enables the dressing to adhere to the wound area without sticking to newly formed wound healing granulation tissue. Dressing can be easily repositioned on application or after visual inspection of the wound. The wound contact layer allows the passage of wound exudate into the foam whilst protecting the wound bed. The hydrophilic polyurethane foam locks away exudate and minimises the risk of wound/peri-wound maceration.The thin semi-permable film backing layer of the dressing protects the wound from external contaminants and minimises the risk of strike through from the wound onto bedding or clothes. 365 Silicone Foam Dressings maintain a moist wound environment for optimal wound healing.

Indications
Suitable for use on wounds with light to moderate levels of exudate. For example;
• Skin abrasions
• Pre-Tibial lacerations
• Pressure ulcers
• Leg ulcers
• Post-operative wound
• Superficial burns
• Donor sites
• Traumatic wounds
• Shallow/granulating wounds.

Precautions;
• Silicone foam dressings are not suitable for arterial bleeds.
• Do not overlay or overlap foam dressings.
• Do not stretch the skin or dressings during application.
• Silicone is hydrophobic and will not adhere to wet skin.
• Do not use or discontinue use if the patient is allergic to silicone.
• Dressings can be left in place for up to 7 days, or until exudate is visible and approaches 1 cm from edge of the dressing pad, whichever is sooner.
• If the condition of the wound deteriorates, discontinue use and consult your healthcare professional.
• Do not use if the peel pouch is opened or damaged.
