Step 5
-
Use gauze and bandage to fix Nanoderm®.
Note:
-
Some patients may report a stinging sensation, which is resulted from Nanoderm® settling over the exposed nerve endings and should disappear after a few minutes.
-
Removal of dressing during dressing change: dampen the dressing with saline and remove it slowly; usually, no pain is resulted.
-
When the wound is healed, Nanoderm® will fall off naturally.
Step 1
-
Before applying Nanoderm®, disinfect and debride the wound using the corresponding standard care for the wound type.
-
Open the pouch and carefully remove Nanoderm®.
-
Dried Nanoderm® is dampened with a saline solution.
-
Wet Nanoderm® can be applied directly to the wound.
Step 2
-
Place Nanoderm® over the wound. Nanoderm® should be at least 1 cm larger than the edges of the wound.
-
If additional Nanoderm® are used, overlap them by at least 1 cm.
Step 3
-
To fully adhere Nanoderm® to the wound surface, use a sterile pad dampened with saline solution to remove any air bubbles and secretions. Apply gentle pressure.
Step 4
-
Carefully trim excess Nanoderm®.
