Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing
Cleanse the wound with saline solution or an appropriate wound cleanser. Cleanse and dry the periwound skin. If the periwound skin is particularly friable, it may be protected from trauma by applying SKIN-PREP◊.
Choose a dressing large enough to cover the wound with 1” of overlap on all sides of the wound. Remove the printed backing paper exposing the adhesive surface.
Center the dressing over the wound and press the edges firmly to the surrounding skin. Remove the small plastic application tab from the underside of the dressing and press all the sides firmly to the skin.
