Always handle Integra® Wound Matrix and Integra® Wound Matrix (Thin) using aseptic technique. Peel open the outer pouch and remove the inner foil pouch. Place foil pouch flat on sterile surface and peel it open. Remove product, including the protective polyethylene sheets. Separate product from the polyethylene sheets by slowly and carefully peeling back from one of the corner edges. Handle with care as product is fragile. Place product into basin containing a sterile saline solution. Rinse the product free of storage buffer by immersion in sterile saline for one to two minutes. Keep product in the basin until application.

Prepare wound bed using standard methods to ensure wound is free of debris and necrotic tissue. If necessary, surgically debride the wound to ensure the wound edges contain viable tissue. Cut the device to size and apply immediately following wound bed preparation. Smooth Integra® Wound Matrix and Integra® Wound Matrix (Thin) into place to ensure the sheet is in contact with the underlying wound bed.

After application, use appropriate secondary dressings to maintain dressing adherence and protect the wound area. The optimum secondary dressing is determined by wound location, size, depth and user preference.

Change the secondary dressing as needed. Frequency of secondary dressing change will be dependent upon volume of exudate produced, type of dressing used and the clinician’s need to inspect the wound bed for signs of infection or healing.
