Mechanism of Action:
The AQUACEL® Silicone Foam Sacral Dressing is a multilayered advancement in wound care. The AQUACEL® technology interacts with wound exudate to form a gel that absorbs fluids and sequesters bacteria, preventing infection while maintaining essential moisture. Simultaneously, the foam layer facilitates additional absorption, and the silicone border adheres gently to ensure dressing stability without affecting the wound bed. The incorporation of a waterproof barrier adds another layer of protection and security against external elements.
Directions for Use:
1. Prepare the wound area in accordance with standard medical practice, ensuring it is clean and dry.
2. Choose the corresponding size, ensuring it covers the wound and marginally extends to healthy skin around the edges.
3. Detach the release liner carefully and place the dressing over the sacral wound.
4. Press the adhesive border to adhere securely to the skin, ensuring the dressing remains correctly positioned.
5. Change the dressing as advised by healthcare professionals or when saturated, generally ranging from every 3-7 days.
