Setup and Preparation

Before applying the Biatain Adhesive Foam Dressing, ensure the wound area is properly prepared.

1. Clean the wound thoroughly according to standard wound care protocols.
2. Ensure the skin around the wound is clean and dry to facilitate proper adhesion.
3. Select the appropriate size of Biatain dressing. If necessary, the dressing can be cut to size to fit the wound area, ensuring the foam covers the wound and the adhesive border adheres to healthy skin.

Operating Instructions (Application)

Follow these steps for effective application of the dressing:

1. Remove the dressing from its sterile packaging.
2. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive side of the dressing.
3. Gently apply the foam side of the dressing directly onto the wound.
4. Press the adhesive border firmly onto the surrounding healthy skin to ensure secure attachment.
5. The dressing can be used under compression devices if indicated for the wound type.
6. The dressing can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on the wound exudate level and clinical assessment.

Maintenance and Removal

Proper maintenance and removal are essential for wound healing and patient comfort.

• Monitoring: Regularly inspect the dressing and the surrounding skin for signs of leakage, saturation, or adverse reactions.
• Change Frequency: Change the dressing when clinically indicated, such as when exudate reaches the edge of the foam, or after a maximum of 7 days.
• Removal: To remove, gently lift one corner of the adhesive border and slowly peel the dressing away from the skin. Dispose of used dressings according to local medical waste regulations.
