If dressing wound with foam...
Cut foam dressing to t the size and shape of the wound
and place cut foam intothe wound. Avoid over packing.
Foam should completely ll the wound cavity. It may be
necessary to stack pieces of foam in deep wounds.
Precaution: If multiple pieces of wound filler are needed to
fill the wound profile, count and record how many pieces
are present to ensure all pieces are removed atadressing
change to minimise the risk of retention and possible
infection.
Foam should be cut to fit loosely into wound bed. Do not
force or tightly packfoam into any areas ofthe wound to
avoid damaging underlying tissue.
Do not place foam into blind or unexplored tunnels.
If a tunnel of known depth presents, cut foam longer than
the tunnel, to ensure direct contact is made with the foam
in the primary wound cavity.
Do not cut foam directly over the wound cavity toavoid
foam fragments from falling into thewound.
Rub edges of the foam away from the open wound to
remove loose fragments aer cutting.
4
Clean and debride
Debride any devitalized
ornecrotic eschar tissue.
Cleanse the wound
and pat dry.
1
If desired, protect
theperiwound skin
fromexposure to moisture
and adhesive through
theuse ofa skin sealant.
Allow the skin sealant to
dry fully prior to placement
of the transparent lm.
2
If desired, a non-adherent
woundcontact layer may
beapplied. Trim a single
layer ofnon-adherent
gauze andlay across
thewound bed.

with So Port application
RENASYS◊EDGE Quick reference guide 4

If dressing wound with gauze...
Apply a layer of saline moistened
gauze to wound bed. Unfold
remaining saline-moistened gauze
and loosely ll the entire wound
cavity. Avoid over packing the
wound.
Precaution: If multiple pieces
ofwound filler are needed tofill the
wound profile, count andrecord how
many pieces are present to ensure
all pieces are removed at a dressing
change to minimize the risk of
retention andpossible infection.
Use of gauze as a filler in wounds
that are in a weight bearing location
or have moderate toheavy drainage
may challenge the transfer of fluid
andvacuum. Foam is recommended
in these wounds.
5
Apply RENASYS So Port
While holding the transparent lm,
expose one side of the adhesive backing
byremoving a single panel, and apply over
the wound.
Cover wound ller with transparent lm,
removing remaining adhesive panels
toseal, then the top stabilisation panel.
Note: Avoid stretching or pulling the
transparent film to minimise tension
ortrauma to the periwound skin.
Overlap the edges of the transparent film
byaminimum of 7.5cm/3in when using
multiple pieces of transparent film.
6
Cut a circular opening (no less than
2cm/¾in in diameter) in the centre
ofthelm, over thewound ller.
Remove any loose transparent lm
anddispose of away from the wound.
