Dosage form

• Sterile wound dressing
• Wound dressing size: 10 x 10 cm
• Wound dressing size: 5 x 5 cm

Directions for use

• Clean the wound with saline solution or as directed by a doctor.
• Select the absorbent pad to suit the size of the wound, ensuring that the central absorbent pad overlaps the edges of the wound by approximately 1–2 cm. Do not cut the green absorbent pad to size. The transparent edge may be trimmed to adapt the absorbent pad, for example, to a concave area of the body.
• After rinsing the wound and before applying the absorbent dressing, ensure that the surrounding skin is patted dry with swabs so that the absorbent dressing adheres properly.
• Peel off both protective films. Place the absorbent dressing with the adhesive side onto the wound so that the green side is facing away from the wound.
• Press the adhesive edges down firmly, taking care to avoid creases at the edges, to ensure that the absorbent dressing is securely fixed in place.
• No additional fixation is required. If indicated, compression dressings may be applied in accordance with the doctor’s instructions.
• Depending on the condition of the wound and the applicable clinical protocol, the absorbent dressing may remain on the wound for up to 5 days.
• The dressing must be changed when clinically indicated or when exudate reaches the edge of the absorbent wound dressing.

Ingredients

RespoSorb Silicone Border has a semi-permeable polyurethane film on the outer side of the dressing backing and a perforated silicone film on the side facing the wound. Between these two layers is an absorbent pad. These layers are held together by acrylic adhesive. The film of the dressing backing is breathable but waterproof, allowing patients to shower. The perforated silicone film on the side facing the wound facilitates easy application of the absorbent pad and prevents it from sticking to the wound. The absorbent pad consists of cellulose and super-absorbent polyacrylate to absorb and bind exudate, and is encased in hydrophilic cellulose fabric. It is covered with a hydrophobic green non-woven fabric (100% polypropylene). The green side is always the side facing away from the wound. On the other side, the product is lined with a very soft, white, hydrophilic non-woven fabric (viscose and polyamide).
