Telfa Adhesive Island Dressing 2 x 3.75 inches, Sterile

Telfa Adhesive Island Dressing is designed to cover and protect surgical wounds, cuts, and abrasions securely. The dressing features a non-adherent Telfa pad at the center, preventing it from sticking to the wound, while the adhesive border ensures it stays in place. This permits easy application and removal without causing trauma to healing tissue. Ideal for post-operative care, these dressings offer a sterile environment that prevents contamination and encourages faster, effective healing by keeping the wound clean and protected.

Details and Features:

Size and Sterility: Measures 2 x 3.75 inches, providing optimal coverage for small to medium wounds. Each dressing is individually wrapped and sterile, ensuring safe application each time.
Non-Adherent Pad: The central pad is constructed from non-adherent materials, preventing the pad from sticking to the wound bed while allowing fluid absorption to maintain a clean and conducive healing environment.
Adhesive Border: The soft, flexible adhesive border securely adheres to the skin without causing irritation, ensuring the dressing stays in place while conforming to body contours for enhanced patient comfort. 
Hypoallergenic: Designed to minimize the risk of allergic reactions, making it suitable for individuals with sensitivities.
Breathable and Lightweight: Facilitates non-occlusive coverage that supports airflow, helping to reduce the risk of maceration while promoting natural healing.
User-Friendly Application: The adhesive border simplifies application, minimizing handling and reducing dressing application time.

Mechanism of Action:

The Telfa Adhesive Island Dressing operates through a two-part mechanism. The non-adherent pad absorbs exudates from the wound, maintaining a moist yet non-sticky surface that aids in natural healing. Meanwhile, the breathable adhesive border gently secures the dressing in place, preventing external contaminants from entering the wound area and reducing the risk of secondary infections.

Directions for Use:

1. Prepare the Wound: Clean the wound with a suitable antiseptic or as directed by a healthcare professional. Carefully pat the area dry with a sterile cloth or gauze pad.
2. Apply the Dressing: Remove the protective film from the adhesive border. Position the non-adherent pad centrally over the wound. Press down on the adhesive border to secure the dressing on the surrounding skin.
3. Observation and Replacement: Regularly inspect the dressing for adequate adhesion and saturation levels. Replace the dressing if it becomes saturated or at least once daily, or more frequently if directed by a healthcare professional.
