Mechanism of Action:

The Telfa Adhesive Island Dressing operates by leveraging a highly absorbent, non-adherent pad surrounded by an adhesive border. The pad effectively absorbs exudate while maintaining a non-stick interface with the wound, which helps prevent trauma and supports optimal healing conditions. The adhesive border clasps the dressing against the skin, forming a barrier that protects from external contaminants while allowing moisture vapor exchange for breathable coverage and comfort.

Directions for Use:

1. Wound Preparation: Cleanse the wound with an antiseptic or saline solution, then dry the surrounding skin thoroughly.
2. Dressing Application: Peel away the backing from the adhesive border, taking care not to touch the sterile pad. Align the pad over the wound and press the adhesive edges gently onto the skin.
3. Smooth and Secure: Gently smooth down the dressing's adhesive border to enhance security and minimize exposure to external elements.
4. Dressing Change: Replace the dressing daily or as instructed by a healthcare professional. Change sooner if the pad becomes saturated or contaminated.
