Coloplast Biatain Adhesive Foam Dressing has superior absorption for wounds that need extra adhesion. Biatain Adhesive is a soft and conformable polyurethane foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains wound exudate. This ensures a balance that is optimal for moist wound healing conditions.
Contraindications:Biatain Adhesive dressings are not recommended for use with oxidizing solutions e.g. hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide and should not be applied to patients who are known to be sensitive to one of the components
How to Use:If clinically indicated, the wound should be cleansed in accordance with normal practice and the surrounding skin thoroughly dried before application of the adhesive sheet. A dressing should be selected that provides 1-2 cm overlap around the wound margin to ensure good adhesion. Using the 'non-touch' applicators to ensure sterile application, locate the foam pad over the wound and remove the backing films one at a time whilst smoothing the dressing onto the skin
Frequency of Change:The frequency of dressing changes will be governed by the state of the wound. On clean epithelializing wounds the dressing may be left in place for up to seven days, but on more heavily exuding wounds more frequent changes may be required. It is recommended that the dressing be changed when the exudate approaches 2 cm from the margin
Warnings:Wounds on patients dressed with Biatain Adhesive with local and systemic infections and/or wounds caused by arterial insufficiency or diabetes, primarily on the lower leg or foot, should be inspected by a healthcare professional on a daily basis. In the event of an allergic reaction, the manufacturer should be contacted for information on dressing components
Precautions:Biatain Adhesive is presented individually wrapped in a peel pouch, sterilized by beta irradiation. The dressings are available in the form of squares for routine use, with specially designed shaped versions available for dressing sacral, heel and difficult to dress areas
