Uses
- Suitable for managing skin tears and abrasions.
- Maintains hydration of dressings, supporting their mechanism of action (e.g., Acticoat).
Positives
- Non-adherent, reducing the risk of wound bed disruption.
- Provides atraumatic removal when changed appropriately (every 2–3 days).
- Supports moist wound healing for optimal recovery.
- Cost-effective solution for wound management.
Limitations
- The petrolatum impregnation can dry out if the dressing is not changed frequently, leading to adherence of the woven matrix to the wound bed. A general guideline is one layer per day.
- Adhesive tapes do not stick effectively to areas where the dressing is or has been applied.
Precautions
