How to use Biopatch Protective Disk?
- Line insertion: leave a minimum of 1.25cm of the catheter to allow for proper cleaning and to apply the biopatch disk.
- Cleaning: prepare the site with an antiseptic and wait until the skin is completely dry.
- Application of biopatch disk: apply biopatch disk printed side up with edges of radial slit approximated and aligned with catheter tubing. Do not peel the printed side from the biopatch disk.
- Dressing: Ensure the biopatch disk has 360° contact with the skin around the catheter. Cover with a transparent film dressing.
- Removal: when the slit is aligned correctly, the biopatch disk will remain attached to the transparent film dressing, and removal will be simultaneous.
Precaution:
Biopatch Dressing should not be placed over infected wounds. It is not intended to be used as a treatment for percutaneous device-related infections.
