Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Telfa Adhesive Island Dressing used for?
▾
It's used to cover and protect wounds like IV sites, surgical incisions, or minor injuries. The non-stick pad prevents trauma during changes, while the sealed edges block bacteria and debris, supporting clean healing in clinical or home settings.
Does the dressing stick to the wound?
▾
No, the central pad is non-adherent and designed not to stick to healing tissue. It protects the wound while allowing for painless removal, reducing the risk of reopening or irritation during dressing changes.
How do you apply the 687541-Box Telfa Island Dressing?
▾
Clean and dry the wound area. Peel off the backing and center the pad over the wound. Press the adhesive borders firmly to ensure a complete seal. No additional tape or gauze is needed for secure coverage.
Is this dressing waterproof?
▾
The dressing resists light moisture but is not fully waterproof. It can handle incidental contact like hand washing, but prolonged soaking may compromise the seal. Not recommended for showering without protection.
Can you cut the dressing to size?
▾
It's not recommended to cut the dressing, as this breaks the sterile field and compromises the four-sided seal. Use the 4 x 8 size as intended for large wounds or linear incisions where full coverage is needed.
