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®.

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.
