ADAPTIC TOUCH Dressing is a flexible, open-mesh primary wound contact layer comprised of cellulose acetate coated with a soft tack silicone designed to facilitate fluid transfer to secondary dressings and minimize adherence and pain at dressing change.
Features
- Cuttable
- Advanced mesh design allows for atraumatic removal
- A large number of small sized pores, to minimize the risk of granulation tissue in-growth
- Enables fluid transfer to a secondary dressing, reducing the risk of exudate pooling and macertion
- Easy to apply and protects the wound whilst minimizing patient pain and trauma on removal and dressing change
- The soft tack silicone assists dressing application and helps prevent adherence of the secondary dressing to the wound
How to Use Solventum (Formerly 3M) ADAPTIC TOUCH Non-Adhering Silicone Dressing
- Select a dressing size that is slightly larger than the wound.
- Prepare the wound according to your wound management protocol. Ensure the surrounding skin is completely dry.
- Remove one of the backing papers of ADAPTIC TOUCH. Place the dressing directly over the wound and smooth into place.
- Remove the second backing paper using surgical tongs or forceps. If more than one piece of ADAPTIC TOUCH is required, ensure dressings overlap to avoid secondary dressing adherence to the wound. Overlap should be minimized to prevent occulsion of holes.
- Cover ADAPTIC TOUCH dressing with a secondary dressing. Choose the secondary dressing based on the level of exudate. Apply any secondary cover or retention/compression bandage.
- 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. To remove, remove the secondary dressing then remove the dressing from the wound bed and discard.
