7.
Place the foam dressing over the incision/surgical closure. Ensure the adhesive seal and
white fabric are facing down.
8.
After foam dressing placement is completed, ensure all liners are removed before
continuing with the drape application (see the Drape Application section).
Place sealing strip on end of foam
•
dressing (creating a continuous seal). The
strip should be placed half on dressing
and half off dressing and overlap
the adhesive seal on each side of the
dressing. This ensures a seal all around
the edge of the dressing.
NOTE: Having exposed adhesive material
around all edges of the dressing provides a
greater seal when the drape is applied.
Remove the remaining liner from the
•
sealing strip. Repeat strip application on
other end of foam dressing.
6.
With sealing strips applied, position the foam
dressing until the adhesive seal and white
fabric are facing down.
NOTE: It is acceptable if sealing strips cover
the incision line.
