Directions
Measure and cut the appropriate
length of textile allowing for 2 in of textile exposure to the air on each side
of skin fold for moisture evaporation. Place one edge of the textile in the
base of the skin fold. Gently smooth the rest of the cloth over the skin
keeping the textile flat covering any wound dressings. Gently place the skin
fold together assuring that 2 in of textile is exposed to air at each cut end.
Separate the skin fold to assess the skin and placement of the textile daily or
as indicated by normal practice. For use on an extremity, loosely wrap the
textile around the area of skin to be protected. Secure with tape or other
suitable device. Removal: InterDry Ag Textile may be left in place for up to 5
days, depending on soiling, odor, amount of moisture, and the general skin
condition. When removing the textile from skin folds, gently separate the skin
fold and lift away the textile. Store in a clean, dry environment in original packaging.
Indications
A skin protectant indicated for
management of skin folds and other skin-to-skin contact areas. Reduces
microbial colonization in the fabric.
Product Details
10 x 144 in. Skin fold management.
An antimicrobial textile for the control of moisture and friction in skin
folds. A non-sterile skin protectant comprised of polyurethane coated polyester
textile impregnated with an antimicrobial silver complex as the active
component. The textile provides moisture transportation to keep skin dry while
the antimicrobial in the textile reduces odor. The textile's low friction
surface acts as a lubrication aid thereby reducing skin-to-skin friction.
Provides a protective environment for the skin and an effective protection
against microbial contamination in the fabric. The product reduces colonization
of the following gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as yeast:
Staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus epidermidis, pseudomonas aeruginosa, and
candida albicans. InterDry Ag Textile contains 0.019% silver. A single patient
use product that is custom cut from a multi-use package.
InterDry Ag Textile is not a wound
dressing and should not be placed directly onto an open wound. Should not be
used on patients with a known sensitivity to silver. InterDry Ag Textile is a
prescription device and should be used as directed by a licensed health care
professional (USA only). May cause transient skin staining. Excessive
absorption of silver into the body may cause the skin to obtain a blue-grey appearance
(Argyria). The safe use of InterDry Ag Textile during pregnancy, lactation and
on children has not been demonstrated. May not be used as a barrier to urine
and feces. If such soiling occurs, the dressing must be changed immediately.
Occlusive barriers used in conjunction with InterDry Ag Textile may reduce the
efficacy of the product. Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or
on the order of a physician.
