SkinTemp II is Kollagen in sheet form. The dressings are porous collagen membranes which are designed to be permeable and breathable, with fluid control similar to skin. They are flexible, pliable, elastic, and durable for ease of application. SkinTemp II is 100% non-hydrolyzed type 1 bovine native collagen. Human BioSciences, Inc.�s proprietary Kollagen technology process protects and retains significantly more native triple helical protein structure, thus allowing superior stability of the molecule and scaffolding through all four phases of wound healing.
Features
- Acts as a hemostatic agent.
- Conforms to the wound closely.
- Sterile, hypoallergenic, non-toxic.
- Forms a protective anti-bacterial barrier to avoid infection.
- Biodegradable, reduces water, electrolytes and heat loss.
- Controls fluid in light, moderate or heavily exudating wounds.
Indication for use: Thie device is intended for the management of burns, sores, blisters, scrapes, ulcers, and other wounds.
Product Application:
Dressing wear time should be based on the condition of the wound and clinical assessment. Always consult a physician for changes in wound condition and treatment plan monitoring and follow up.
- Cleanse wound as per physician order: preferably normal saline or non-cytotoxic wound cleanser or wash.
- Remove SkinTemp II backing from the collagen sheet.
- Apply SkinTemp II collagen sheet to the wound bed. Place collagen sheet with white side down, to make direct contact with the wound bed.
- SkinTemp II may be layered to fill dead space of deep cavity wounds and packed loosely into undermining and tunneling wounds.
- Rehydrate Skin Temp� II with normal saline in dry wounds.
- Cover wound with a secondary dressing: e.g. transparent, gauze, abdominal pad, foam, super absorbent pad, hydrocolloid to promote thermoregulation in wound healing.
- For removal, moisten dressing with normal saline to avoid harming new tissue and causing pain.
Precautions:
- Do not use on patients with collagen or bovine sensitivities.
- Do not use on third-degree (full thickness) burns.
