Description

PRIMAPORE Dressings by Smith & Nephew offer a versatile solution for effective wound management. These sterile, adhesive dressings are designed to protect a wide range of wounds, including cuts, grazes, lacerations, sutured wounds, and postoperative wounds. Their adaptability makes them suitable for application on challenging areas of the body such as elbows, shoulders, and joints.

Key Features

• Comfortable and Conformable: The non-woven fabric backing is soft, breathable, and flexible, ensuring comfort and adherence to body contours.
• Effective Absorption: Each dressing features a central pad that is highly absorbent, keeping the wound dry and minimizing fluid strike-through.
• Low-Adherent Contact Layer: Designed to reduce trauma and pain during removal, this layer allows exudate to pass into the absorbent pad efficiently.
• Secure Adhesion: The low-allergy acrylic adhesive provides secure fixation while minimizing skin irritation, complemented by rounded corners to prevent lifting or snagging.

Application Benefits

• Easy Application: Slit protector paper allows for quick, clean, and aseptic application without direct contact with the pad or adhesive.
• Individually Wrapped: Each dressing is individually sterile wrapped, maintaining hygiene and readiness for use.

Instructions for Use

1. Clean and dry the wound and surrounding area.
2. Choose the appropriate dressing size.
3. Remove the wrapper and backing paper.
4. Apply without stretching, ensuring the pad covers the wound.
5. Smooth the adhesive border into place.
6. Change the dressing as needed, typically every five days or if it becomes wet or soiled.
7. Remove carefully, especially on sensitive skin.

Precautions

• Consult a healthcare professional for serious wounds or if discomfort arises.
• Be cautious when applying and removing on fragile skin to prevent irritation.
• Discontinue use if exudate levels are too high or once the wound has healed.
