When to use anti-microbial dressings?

![Page 7: Mepilex ag by Dr. Sunil Keswani, National Burns Centre, Airoli](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54bed1bb4a7959fd2a8b45fb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why would you use a dressing with Safetac®?
85%
• Safetac prevents pain and trauma - hurts less at dressing changes and
during wear- prevents maceration
• Absorption and retention• With or without border• Reliable antimicrobial action
- onset within 30 minutes- effect for 7 days- broad effect; MRSA, VRE

Safetac technology – how it works
Safetac adhesive technology
Traditional adhesives
The Safetac layer is extremely soft and moulds to the uneven surface of the skin to create a large effective contact area. On dressing removal, Safetac distributes the peel force over a large area of the skin under the dressing. The benefit of this is that skin stripping is minimized, the skin barrier preserved and pain minimized at removal.
Traditional adhesives are relatively inflexible and onlymake contact with few points on the top of the skin. Traditional adhesives therefore require an aggressive adhesion in order to stay in place. On removal the skin cells at the contact points will be stripped and the skin barrier compromised. This will cause pain.

Non-adherent to moist wound bed• Less painful dressing removal• Minimised risk of wound disturbance• Easier dressing changes for
clinicians
Will adhere gently to dry skin • Protects the surrounding skin from
maceration• No skin prep needed to protect the
skin
No stripping of epidermal cells• Less painful dressing removal• Less damage to surrounding skin
Leaves no residues• Easier to clean the wound and
surrounding skin.• No residues left in the wound
Non-sensitizing• No skin allergies• Potentially longer wear time
Can be repositioned • Easy to dress wounds, saves time• Less waste, cost effective

Areas of use
Low to moderate exuding wounds where an antimicrobial effect is wanted.
Leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, partial thickness burns - also for prevention.

Debride and cleanse the wound according to local protocol
Choose a dressing where the wound pad exceeds the wound margins with at least 2 cm
Change according to wound status; exudation, level of contamination etc.
