Fluid Accumulation
POD 1-5 |
|
In unmeshed INTEGRA® Template sheets,
Clear or amber fluid may accumulate under the matrix between
INTEGRA® Template and the wound bed. Although fluid
drainage is a normal part of the healing process, fluid
accumulation can lead to infection and /or the formation
of granulation tissue and should therefore
be evacuated.
Intervention:
Evacuate by needle aspiration, rolling
or wicking with a cotton tip applicator or gauze pad.
