DESCRIPTION
Solventum (Formerly 3M) Medipore + Pad Soft Cloth Adhesive Wound Dressing
3M Health Care is now Solventum. The same products you know and trust, now under a new brand.
Solventum (Formerly 3M)™ Medipore™ +Pad Soft Cloth Adhesive Wound Dressings are all-in-one sterile dressings that feature a breathable soft cloth tape backing with a unique non-adherent pad. These dressings are porous and breathable for increased patient comfort allowing for air in and moisture out.
Key Features
- Enhances patient comfort – Soft, porous, and breathable. Unique, non-adherent pad won’t stick to the wound, thus minimizing disruption of the healing tissues upon removal.
- Helps support healing – Absorbent pad protects wound and absorbs drainage, while allowing skin to breathe, thus reducing the potential for maceration around the wound edges.
- Gentle to the skin – Dressing provides excellent adhesion, yet is gentle to the skin. Contains no natural rubber latex.
- Conformable – Conforms to body contours.
- Convenient for clinicians– Available in a wide range of sizes for most common applications.
Uses
Post-surgical dressings – especially on areas where swelling or movement is expected
- Acute wounds, such as cuts and abrasions
- As a secondary dressing over hydrogels, alginates, gauze, or other primary dressings.
Precautions
- Hemostasis of the catheter site or wound should be achieved before applying the dressing.
- Mechanical skin trauma may result if tension is applied.
- When applied on areas of high mobility, or if considerable tissue swelling is anticipated, tension-related skin injuries may occur.
- Do not resterilize.
- The Medipore+Pad Soft Cloth adhesive dressing is not intended to replace sutures or other primary wound closure methods.
- The site should be observed frequently for signs of infections. If infection occurs (which may be signaled by fever, pain, redness, swelling, or an unusual odor or discharge), remove the dressing and take standard precautions.
How to Use Solventum (Formerly 3M) Medipore + Pad Soft Cloth Adhesive Wound Dressing
