Coloplast InterDry User guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the instructions for the InterDry product. This document provides detailed steps on how to use the fabric to protect irritated skin in skin folds, including instructions on cutting, placing, securing, and removing the fabric. It also gives guidance regarding the use of the product with creams, ointments and powders. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about using InterDry based on this document.
  • How should I prepare the skin before applying the fabric?
    How much fabric should extend beyond the skin fold?
    How long can each piece of InterDry be used ?
    Can I use creams, ointments or powders with InterDry?
4.
Leave at least 2 inches of the fabric
exposed outside the skin fold.
5.
Secure the fabric in one of several
ways: with the skin fold, with a small
amount of skin-friendly tape, or
tuckedunderclothing.
6.
Remove the fabric before bathing
and reuse it when finished. When
removing, gently separate the skin
foldand lift away.
InterDry moisture-wicking fabric with antimicrobial silver protects red,
irritated skin in and around skin folds by keeping the area dry and
reducing colonization in the fabric.
InterDry can be written on with
a ballpoint pen. It may be helpful
to label InterDry with the date
it was placed on the patient,
or follow your facility’s protocols.
Each piece of InterDry may be used up to
5days, depending on fabric soiling, odor,
amount of moisture and general skin
condition. Replace InterDry if it becomes
soiled with blood, urine orstool.
Do not use creams, ointments
or powders with InterDry as it may
interfere with product efficacy.
Helpful hints
InterDry® is a skin protectant for the management of skin folds and other skin-to-skin contact areas. It reduces microbial colonization in the fabric. This single use fabric provides moisture transportation to keep skin dry while the
antimicrobial in the fabric reduces odor. The safe use of InterDry fabric during pregnancy, lactation and on children has not been demonstrated. Although many patients benefit from the use of this device, results may vary. See
the device labeling for detailed information including the indication, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential complications/adverse events. For further questions, call Coloplast Corp. at 1-800-533-0464 and/or
consult the company website at www.coloplast.us
1.
Wash skin gently. Pat dry, do not rub.
2.
With clean scissors, cut enough fabric
to cover the affected area, allowing for
a minimum of 2 inches to extend beyond
the skin fold for moisture evaporation.
3.
Lay a single layer of fabric in the skin
fold, placing one edge into the base of
the fold. Gently smooth the rest of the
fabric over the skin, keeping it flat.
How to use InterDry®
Refer to product package for complete instructions including directions for use, indications, precautions, warnings, storage, and
other information. If skin irritation does not improve or worsens over time, talk to a physician or other health care professional.
