RENASYS◊-F Foam and -G Gauze
Dressing Kit with So Port application
Clean and debride
If dressing wound with foam
Debride any devitalized ornecrotic eschar tissue.
Cleanse the wound and pat dry.
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 minimize 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.
1
If desired, protect theperiwound skin fromexposure to
moisture and adhesive through theuse of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.

If dressing wound with gauze
Apply RENASYS So Port
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.
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 stabilization
panel. Film should securely anchor 5cm/1.97in beyond
wound margin to facilitate adequate seal.
Note: Avoid stretching or pulling the transparent film tominimize
tension ortrauma to the periwound skin. Overlap the edges
ofthe transparent film byaminimum of7.5cm/2.95in whenusing
multiple pieces of transparent film.
Remove the adhesive backing panel from the RENASYS
So Port dressing, and align the port opening directly
over the hole in the transparent lm.
Use gentle pressure to anchor the So Port tothe
transparent lm.
Cut a circular opening (no less than 2cm/0.75in in
diameter) in the center ofthelm, over thewound ller.
Remove any loose transparent lm anddispose of away
from the wound.
