Check Your Dressing Each Day
It is important to keep the dressing clean and dry at all times and be sure the edges of the dressing are not lifting off the skin.
How often does a dressing need to be changed?
Change the dressing every 7 days or as soon as possible if it is wet, soiled, loose, or open to the air.
Skin reactions seen with transparent film dressings can often be prevented by appropriate application of skin antiseptics and skin dressings, as well as correct application and removal of the dressing.
Contact dermatitis attributed to the transparent film dressing adhesive will present as an irritation appearing under the dressing. If the skin irritation or redness is seen not only under the dressing area but outside of the dressing, the skin reaction may be due to the chemicals in the skin prep or dressing. Failing to let the prep dry completely before covering will increase irritation.
Skin stripping occurs when medical adhesives are removed incorrectly.
A tension blister is a skin reaction or injury due to a mechanical force. When a film dressing is stretched into place on the skin, the film dressing has a tendency to move back into its normal shape causing skin blistering.
Maceration is caused when the skin swells and whitens after prolonged exposure to moisture. This may occur when the dressing has not been protected during bathing or showering, or when the clear adhesive dressing has become over saturated and left on the skin.
