• Covidien Sterile Saline Water
• Dynarex Povidone Iodine Prep Pad

How to use Enluxtra Humifiber Dressing?

• Select the appropriate size of Enluxtra Self-Adaptive Wound Dressing, allowing for at least a 3/4 inch skin overlap around the wound (the more overlap, the better).
• Apply the dressing to the wound with the printed side facing out.
• If the wound is elongated, align the dressing so that it is placed diagonally along the longest central line of the wound.
• Allow for more skin overlap in the direction of the natural exudate flow to help the dressing trap and lock in the flowing exudate.
• It is not recommended to cut Enluxtra to the size of the wound. The more healthy skin around the wound is protected by the dressing, the better.
• However, you may trim the dressing if its edges interfere with nearby body parts.
• Make sure that the dressing is in contact with the wound bed. If you are not sure that the dressing is touching the deep wound bed, press it from outside with folded gauze pads and wrap it over, or use wound filler for cavity or tunneling wounds.
• Note: DO NOT use Enluxtra Self-Adaptive Dressings as a wound filler

 

Special Case Usage:

1. In cases where incontinence is involved, the dressing edges must be closed with water-resistant adhesive tape.

2. If the wound size is larger than the available dressing size, you can use 2 or more dressings placed on the wound side by side and taped together.

3. Place the dressing in a diagonal direction on coccyx wounds.

 

When you start ENLUXTRA on a new wound, always follow these steps:

• Assess wound conditions. If slough is present, use the Slough Removal Protocol.
• Apply the appropriately sized Enluxtra dressing onto the wound allowing at least 3/4 inch of dressing margin/overlap onto the healthy skin or at least 1 inch for high drainage. The larger the dressing size, the higher its absorbing capacity.
• Keep the first dressing on the wound for 2-3 days.
• Remove the dressing, and assess the wound conditions. If the wound conditions are improving, apply a new Enluxtra dressing. You may start reducing the frequency of dressing changes gradually to once a week or even once per 10 days as the wound heals.
• If wound conditions are not improving and any of the following symptoms are present:
  • Leakage from under the dressing edge: use a larger size of Enluxtra
  • Foul odor: check if the dressing stays in good contact with the wound bed
  • Buildup of slough: check if the dressing stays in good contact with the wound bed
  • Worsened peri-wound skin and wound edge: use a larger size of Enluxtra.
• Do not use skin preps with Enluxtra.
• Also, it is possible that pre-existing infection could be present and should be addressed. The dressing has to be changed more frequently until you see signs of improvement. Then you can start reducing the dressing change frequency.
• If the drainage is controlled and the wound has healthy granulation with leveled edges but appears to be not healing, this indicates that:
  • The wound may need off-loading
  • Underlying conditions have to be addressed
  • Patient is not compliant
  • Other factors exist that are unrelated to the dressing

Contraindications:

• Known sensitivity
• Heavy arterial bleeding

Precautions And Warnings:

• Sterile unless damaged or opened
• Single-use
• Store at temperatures below 100 degrees F
• Consult a clinician: If you notice any of the following:
  • Excessive drainage or change in color
  • Redness or warmth around the wound
  • Pain or tenderness
  • Unusual odor

When to change Enluxtra?

It is time to change Enluxtra when the exudate, visible through the backing film, gets close to the edge of the dressing.
