Hygiene Education

Artificial skin is a hydrophilic dressing, with hypoallergenic, hydrophilic glue and a clear and transparent outer film. This film is moisture permeable and waterproof and anti-bacterial. It will interact with the exudate of the wound to form a soft, translucent absorber, which can increase the moisturizing and healing ability of the wound.

• Applicable to: Acute wounds: minor abrasions, lacerations, cuts, burns, broken skin.
• Not suitable for: Skin damage affecting muscles, tendons, or bones.

Timing of artificial leather replacement

• There is leakage of exudate.
• The dressing comes off.
• It has been used for 7 days.

Artificial leather replacement method

• First clean the wound and skin surface with saline.
• The skin should be dry before applying artificial leather.
• Choose an appropriate size of artificial skin: choose about 2.5 cm larger than the edge of the wound.
• After peeling off the artificial leather backing paper, minimize the contact between your fingers and the surface of the adhesive.
• The artificial skin is aligned with the center of the wound, please be careful to avoid unnecessary pulling.
• It can be used with ventilation tape or hypoallergenic tape to strengthen the edge fixation.

Precautions
