Estimate the number of sheets
of INTEGRA® Template you
will need available in the OR using the following
guidelines:
- Determine the size of the
area to be covered (e.g.,
9% TBSA for an adult or 1750cm)
- Determine product size (e.g.,
20x25cm). If you
are planning to mesh the INTEGRA® Template, it
is suggested that you use the 10x25cm (4x10 inch)
size.
- Calculate the number of sheets
by dividing the Surface Area by Sheet Area (e.g.,
1750cm/500cm = 3.5 sheets)
- Due to difficulties in estimating
surface area and losses due to trimming, it is
often advisable to allow for an additional 10%
(e.g., 3.5 sheets x 1.10 = 3.85 Sheets)
