3M™ Tegaderm™ Hydrocolloid Dressing Application and Removal (2:46 Minutes)
Video Transcription
For dressing application you'll prepare your wound bed and protect your periwound tissue per your facility protocol. You will select the dressing size to allow one inch or 2.5 centimeters of overlap on to the intact skin. You will remove the liner from the back of the dressing by lifting and pulling one of the square ends marked number one to expose the adhesive surface. Center and gently press the adhesive side of the dressing to the wound site smoothing the film edges. Remove the delivery film by lifting one of the center tabs marked number two pulling towards one edge and smoothing the dressing to the edge and then repeat this for the other side. In a downward direction, gently pull on the perforated tabbed edge. This dressing may remain in place for seven days. Change if it begins to leak or if the edges bunch. I will now go on to demonstrate the dressing removal. You will carefully lift the dressing edge of the film border while pressing down on the skin. Continue to lift the edge until all are free from the skin surface. If there is a difficulty lifting the film border, you may apply a piece of tape to the edge and use that to assist you to lift your edge. Continue to remove the film border and then carefully remove the dressing folding it over itself pulling in the direction of the hair growth.
