Wound Site Preparation of the Foot for Dressing Application
Carefully inspect the wound and make sure no contraindications
for NPWT are present
(see the NPD 1000 System IFU P/N #50000 for
a complete list of contraindications. If you do not have a copy,
please see page 2 of this document for instructions to get one)
.
In preparation for applying the dressing, make sure proper hand
washing and gloving practices are followed to prevent infection
and cross-contamination. Clean the wound bed according to the
institution’s protocol and standards of practice prior to application
of the negative pressure dressing. To protect the peri-wound area
(all skin that will be covered by the negative pressure dressing),
care needs to be taken to adequately clean and dry this area. It is
recommended that an alcohol-based cleaning product be used
to prepare the peri-wound area, as this will effectively remove any
remaining moisture. Make sure that any hair is clipped prior to the
application of the dressing. A protective barrier wipe, such as Skin
Prep
®*
, can be used to preserve the wound margins and prevent
epithelial stripping. This will also insure that the proper adherence
of the dressing to the site for the duration of wear.
