Skin tears

How to handle a skin tear?

Gently cleanse skin tear and surrounding skin using normal saline or wound cleanser. Do not rub the affected area.

• Let the area air dry or pat dry the surrounding area very carefully with a soft towel.
• Bring the loosen tissues to each other.
• Apply the soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology to support the wound healing process based on the principle of moist healing.
• If necessary, put a mark on the soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology how to remove the dressing. This limits the risk to damage newly formed tissues when changing the dressing.
