DRESSING APPLICATION FOR LINEAR INCISIONS

CAUTION: If the dressing covers the umbilicus, the umbilicus must first be fully filled with an
anti-microbial petroleum gauze prior to dressing application.
1. Open the sterile dressing package, remove and unfold foam dressing using aseptic technique. Do
not use if package has been torn or the sterile seal has been compromised.
2. Use the enclosed ruler to measure incision before cutting.
3. Cut foam dressing to the length necessary to cover the incision.
CAUTION: Do not cut the foam over the wound, as fragments may fall into the wound. Away
from wound site, rub foam edges to remove any fragments or loose particles that may fall
into or be left in the wound upon dressing removal.
4. Remove bottom release liner 1 on the foam dressing to expose
adhesive seal and white fabric located on the bottom of the foam
dressing. The white fabric covers the incision.
5. Add sealing strips to the ends of the foam dressing.
NOTE: Use the PREVENA PLUS™ CUSTOMIZABLE™ Dressing to
size the sealing strip as needed to fit the width of the dressing,
approximately 3 in (8 cm).
Liner 1 must be removed from the dressing before applying
sealing strips.
Remove one of the liners from the sealing strip. Sealing strips are
tacky on both sides.
Place sealing strip on end of foam dressing (creating a
continuous seal). The strip should be placed half on dressing
and half off dressing and overlap the adhesive seal on each side
of the dressing. This ensures a seal all around the edge of the
dressing.
Remove the remaining liner from the sealing strip. Repeat strip
application on other end of foam dressing.
