Hartmann has been developing and producing new medical products since 1885. The company is constantly improving and introducing the latest technologies into production.

Cosmopore patch - how to use?

After the patient regains consciousness from anesthesia, during the dressing process, the nurse explains in detail how to properly use the post-operative suture patch. With minimally invasive interventions, the wound size is small, so applying an aseptic bandage is not advisable. The patch is ideal. The algorithm for its application itself is as follows:

  1. Carefully open the package with the patch, holding it by the edges.
  2. Slowly remove the patch, remove one part of the paper protective layer.
  3. Attach the bandage to the edge of the wound, smooth it with light movements and press lightly.
  4. After removing the paper layer from the second half of the bandage, attach it in the same way.
  5. The pad located in the center should completely cover the wound.

How often should the post-operative patch be changed?

As for the duration of use of the bandage, the manufacturer does not indicate specific terms. It is necessary to change the bandage taking into account the individual regimen. What is decisive is:

  • wound size;
  • amount of exudate discharged;
  • location of the postoperative suture.

If the frequency of changing the dressing is not indicated in the instructions for the patch, then the maximum duration of use of one dressing is prescribed. So, the change should be carried out at least once every 3 days. During this time, the Cosmopor patch-bandage not only loses its effectiveness, but its appearance also becomes unacceptable for further use.

Allergy to Cosmopor - what to do?

Cosmopor is a post-operative hypoallergenic patch, so allergic reactions develop in rare cases. However, this phenomenon cannot be completely excluded. If, a few hours after the patch is glued to the wound, itching begins and redness appears in the area of ​​the edges, the bandage must be removed and consult a doctor. You should not take any action on your own. The way out of this situation is to use an aseptic bandage, which is applied in a medical facility and changed at regular intervals.
