Keneric Healthcare RTD Wound Care Dressing

What is the RTD Mechanism of Action?

Methylene Blue

• Strong affinity for dead cells not viable cells
• Strong Cation: draws negatively charged bacteria
• Pulls the protein rich exudate (bacteria and dead tissue) into the dressing

Gentian Violet

• Attacks gram(-) and gram(+) bacteria 
• Antibacterial and Antifungal
• Analgesic

Silver Ion

• Silver ions (Ag+) are released in the presence of exudate 
• Amount of Silver ions released are proportionate to the amount of exudat
• Silver ion (Ag+) binds to bacterial cells 
• Penetrates and kills gram (-) and gram (+) bacteria 

Medical grade Polyurethane foam

• Capillary suction therapy (CST): pulls liquefied biofilm and bacteria from wound bed 
• Bio-burden sequestration: strips toxins and debris and sequesters into foam matrix for disposal, preventing antimicrobial resistance 
• Autolytic debridement

Considerations for RTD Foam Wound Dressing

Dressing should be in direct contact with the wound for best results. Fit to edges of the wound. For moderate to heavy exudate wounds and initial dressing applications, the 1/4" thickness is recommended.

The 1/8" thickness is recommended for lighter exudate wounds. If the dressing becomes saturated before the desired dressing change, a second dressing may be place on top for continued absorption and vertical wicking.

Considerations for Tunneling Wounds: Cut the dressing (1/4" thickness) into strips or cut and roll to appropriate size. Leave a "tail" at the end of the dressing to assist with easy removal. Insert into wound tunnel. Do not allow dressing to become fully saturated.

Considerations for Ostomy Dressing:

• Trim the outer diameter of the RTD Dressing (1/8" thickness) to fit just inside the adhesive rim of the pouch. Trim the inner diameter of the dressing to fit the stoma. 
• If a peristomal wound is present, cut the 1/8 inch thickness RTDWound Dressing to the wound size and placed on the wound. Secure the pouch wafer using preferred tube paste around the precut opening for the stoma. 

Considerations for Skin Graft and Donor sites:

• To apply the RTD Wound Dressing after graft placement. Start with meshed non-adherence dressing such as a petroleum impregnated, or a silicone based wound contact layer. Cut the non-adherent so that it extends one centimeter beyond the edge of the skin graft. 
• Cut the RTD Wound Dressing the same size and place over the non-adherent. Secure dressing per standard protocol. Leave in place per doctor’s orders (usually 4 to 7 days). 

Considerations for around G-Tubes, Chest Tubes, Tracheostomy Tubes, Pic Line or Central Venous Lines:

• Cleanse the area per facility protocol. Cut the 1/8" RTD Wound Dressing with a slit and slight cut out to allow it to fit securely around the tubing and lie flat against the adjacent skin. 
• For the tracheostomy tube, allow the dressing to fit the foam underneath the flange as able. Secure with a non-occlusive adhesive or medical grade tape. Leave in place for up to three days.

Considerations for use Under Negative Pressure Therapy (NPWT) Device:

• Cut the RTD Wound Dressing to size. Fenestrate the foam. Place the RTD Dressing in contact with the wound bed. 
• Place the NPWT foam on top

   The RTD Wound Care Dressings are just as they are described and work great. Easy to cut if needed. They were delivered quickly. The nurses at the wound care clinic always say it is easy to get dressing supplies but where we live we can't get them. Thank you for making it possible it get the supplies we need quickly!
