GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Apply the drape to clean, dry, and intact skin. Ensure the skin is free of lotions, oils, or creams. Protective barrier wipes are not necessary.

DRAPE APPLICATION 
Step 1 / Assess the wound. Clean and prepare the wound bed and surrounding skin according to facility protocol.
Step 2 / Apply the foam or dressing over the wound bed following the manufacturer’s directions.
Step 3 / Cut and place the drape to cover the foam or dressing, ensuring an additional 1″ to 2″ overlap onto intact periwound skin. While cutting the drape, maintain at least one edge with a portion of the blue #3 tab.
Step 4 / Remove layer #1 to expose the adhesive side of the drape. Place the adhesive side down over the foam pad or wound dressing and onto the adjacent skin. Smooth the drape carefully over the skin, ensuring it adheres without creasing.
Step 5 / Remove layer #2. Next, to remove the blue #3 handling tab(s), hold the drape side of the perforation steady with one hand. Then, use your other hand to pull and remove the blue tab #3 along the perforation line. Ensure the section of the tab with the directions remains attached to the drape to assist with dressing removal later. Pat down the drape to ensure a good seal.
Step 6 / Complete the application by following facility protocol and the manufacturer’s directions.
Step 7 / Document the procedure and the patient’s response to the treatment.

DRAPE REMOVAL 
Step 1 / Lift the directions tab and swipe underneath it using alcohol prep pads or alcohol swab sticks until the drape begins to lift easily from the skin. Continue to apply alcohol to the underside of the drape where it adheres to the skin.
Step 2 / Use additional alcohol prep pads or swab sticks as needed to keep the underside edge of the drape moist, allowing it to loosen from the skin.
Step 3 / Carefully remove all foam or dressing pieces from the wound bed. Document the number of pieces removed according to facility protocol.
Step 4 / Discard the used drape and foam or dressing pieces according to facility protocol
Step 5 / Document the procedure and the patient’s response to the treatment.

REMOVAL NOTE
Ensure the adhesive edge remains wet with isopropyl alcohol until the drape is fully removed from the skin. The adhesive bond will return to the drape once the isopropyl alcohol evaporates.
