How to use Adaptic Touch Non Adhering Dressing

Dressing selection

• Select a size of Adaptic Touch Dressing that is larger than the wound to ensure dressing can be applied to intact skin surrounding the wound margins. Adaptic Touch Dressing can be cut to size, if necessary. Dressing will not unravel or shed fibres.
• If more than one piece of Adaptic Touch Dressing is required, ensure dressings overlap, to avoid secondary dressing adherence to the wound. Overlap should be minimised to prevent occlusion of holes.

Dressing Application

• Prepare the wound according to wound management protocol.
• Ensure skin surrounding the wound is dry.
• Remove protective films from dressing.
• Place Adaptic Touch Dressing directly over the wound and smooth in place around the wound.
• Cover with an appropriate absorbent secondary dressing, e.g. TIELLE™ Hydropolymer Adhesive Dressing.

Dressing Change 

• Dressing change frequency is dictated by good wound care practice and will depend on the condition of the wound.
• Adaptic Touch Dressing may be left in place for several days.
