Always handle PuraPly® AM Wound Matrix using aseptic technique. Prepare wound area 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. To apply, cut the dry sheet to the outline of the wound area. If the wound is larger than a single sheet, then multiple sheets may be used. Overlap adjoining sheets to provide coverage of the entire wound. For ease of handling, apply PuraPly® AM Wound Matrix by placing in a dry state over the wound and rehydrate the sheet using sterile saline or other isotonic solution. Place the edge of the sheet in contact with the intact tissue. Smooth PuraPly® AM Wound Matrix into place to ensure the sheet is in contact with the underlying wound bed. The sheet may be fixed to the wound using sutures or other fixation method. The optimum fixation method is determined by wound location, size, depth and user preference. Apply secondary dressings as appropriate for the type and stage of wound.
NOTE: If excess exudate collects under the sheet, small openings can be cut in the sheet to allow the exudates to drain.
IMPORTANT: After application, use an appropriate nonadherent secondary dressing to maintain a moist wound environment. The optimum secondary dressing is determined by wound location, size, depth and user preference. Change the secondary dressing as needed to maintain a moist, clean wound area. Frequency of secondary dressing change will be dependent upon volume of exudate produced and type of dressing used. As healing occurs, sections of PuraPly® AM Wound Matrix may gradually peel and may be removed during dressing changes. Do not forcibly remove sections of PuraPly® AM Wound Matrix that may adhere to the wound. Alternatively, the PuraPly® AM Wound Matrix may form into a caramel-colored gel, which can be rinsed away with gentle irrigation. On inspection, if PuraPly® AM Wound Matrix is no longer covering the wound, place an additional piece of PuraPly® AM Wound Matrix over the wound. The wound should be reevaluated on a weekly basis for PuraPly® AM reapplication.
