Product Details and Features:
Dimensions: 5 x 9 inches, suitable for moderate to large wound areas.
Non-Adhering: Constructed with a pliable cellulose acetate mesh that is coated with a specially formulated petrolatum emulsion, ensuring adherence to the dressing rather than the wound.
Moist Wound Healing: The oil emulsion creates a moist healing environment, which is critical for optimal wound care and faster reepithelialization.
Flexible and Conformable: Can be easily cut to size to fit different wound shapes and contours, providing maximum patient comfort.
Promotion of Healing: Supports a favorable wound healing process by preventing wound dehydration and desiccation.
Versatile Use: Suitable for use as a primary contact layer with secondary absorbent dressings.
Mechanism of Action:
Adaptic Dressings work by utilizing a specially impregnated cellulose acetate mesh that allows fluid transfer, thereby facilitating the maintenance of a moist wound environment essential for natural healing. The unique petrolatum emulsion keeps the dressing from sticking to the wound site, thereby minimizing trauma and pain during dressing changes. This non-adhering nature is crucial for protecting delicate, newly formed tissues and supporting uninterrupted healing.
Directions for Use:
1. Cleaning: Begin by gently cleaning the wound according to standard protocol.
2. Application: Open the Adaptic Dressing package and remove the sterile dressing. Cut, if necessary, to fit the wound size.
3. Placement: Place the dressing directly over the wound, ensuring that there is an overlap onto healthy surrounding skin.
4. Secondary Dressing: Cover with an appropriate secondary absorbent dressing to manage exudate levels.
5. Changing Schedule: Change the dressing as per the healthcare provider’s instructions or when the secondary dressing is saturated.
Warnings:
-
Single Use: For single-use only; do not reuse as it may compromise sterility leading to infection.

Safety Notice:
Adaptic Non-Adhering Oil Emulsion Impregnated Dressings should be used as directed by a healthcare professional. While this product is designed to minimize pain and trauma during dressing changes, individual patient needs and wound characteristics must be carefully considered to optimize healing outcomes. Always consult the full product instructions for comprehensive handling and application protocols.
