CUTINOVA^◊ HYDRO

Step 1

First clean the wound by rinsing with sterile saline or Ringer solution. Remove the release paper from the dressing.

Step 2

Ensure that the surrounding skin is clean and dry. Apply the dressing to the cleansed wound overlapping the wound edges by at least 3/4".

Step 3

CUTINOVA^◊ Hydro needs no additional fixation because it is self-adherent. However, depending on the location of the wound, a border of extra dressing fixation is recommended to prevent dressing from rolling (e.g. OPSITE^◊ FLEXIFIX^◊ or HYPAFIX^◊).

Step 4

The frequency of dressing change depends on the level of wound exudate.Change dressing when a whitish blister forms up to the edges of the dressing. The interval between the changes is one to several days depending on exudate level. A dressing change is required at least once a week.

Step 5

Dressing change is easy because CUTINOVA^◊ Hydro can be removed completely from the wound. Cleanse the wound as required before applying a new dressing.
