Areza Island Wound Dressing (Bordered Gauze) is a sterile dressing indicated for surgical as well as non-

• Do not use Areza Medical Island Wound Dressing (Bordered Gauze) on patients with known sensitivity to any of its components.
• Do not use on third-degree burns.
• Single Use Only. Do not reuse or re-sterilize.
• Do not use if pouch is damaged or open.
• Do not use on dry wounds. There can be risk of damaging the wound during removal if dried and adhered to wound.
• Non-waterproof, water resistant. Water and liquid can pass through the adhesive fabric backing, but the central non-adherent, viscose fiber pad may delay the water or liquid to reach the inside layer of the dressing. The dressing may need to be changed if it is wet from external liquids.
• Colored liquids, such as urine, can discolor the outside of the dressing.
• For fragile skin, it is recommended to prepare the skin with commercial skin protectors on the areas where the adhesive tape will be applied before its application.
• If needed, use medical glue remover to remove glue residues on the skin. Do not use soap, alcohol or other chemicals to remove glue residues. Do not scratch the skin to remove glue residues.

1. Cleanse the wound with sterile saline or another cleansing solution and pat dry.
2. Position the central absorbent pad onto the wound’s surface. Gently press down the adhesive border onto the clean and dry periwound skin.
3. Secondary dressing not required.
4. Change the dressing as needed or as instructed by wound care provider.
5. To remove: If the wound appears dry, saturate the dressing with sterile saline water prior to removal. Remove carefully to avoid damaging the periwound skin.
