Sterile transparent island dressings designed to protect post-operative and minor wounds. The clear polyurethane film allows continuous wound observation without the need for dressing changes, while the central absorbent pad cushions the wound and absorbs low levels of exudate.

1. Peel the two white paper liners from the dressing to expose the absorbent pad and adhesive border.
2. Position the absorbent dressing pad centrally over the wound.
3. Gently press down the adhesive border onto the skin surround the wound.
4. As indicated by the blue arrows remove the transparent release film on the back of the dressing from the centre outwards.
5. Smooth the entire dressing from centre towards the edges using gentle pressure to enhance adhesion.
6. Without disturbing the dressing, observe the wound daily for signs of infection or other complications (or as recommended by heathcare professional).

The frequency of dressing change will depend on the clinical circumstances. Transparent Island Dressings may be left in place for up to seven days. If signs of clinical infection are observed the dressing should be removed and professional advice obtained.

1. To remove Transparent Island Dressings from the wound, gently peel and lift one corner of the dressing from the skin.
2. Support the skin whilst peeling the dressing off by stretching the film horizontally and in direction of hair growth. As the film is stretched, the adhesive releases and the film turns an opaque white colour.
3. Care should be taken to avoid skin damage with repeated applications, or on patients with fragile skin.
4. Clean the wound in order to remove any remaining exudate before wound assessment or the application of new dressings.
