Debride any devitalized or necrotic eschar tissue. Cleanse wound bed and pat dry.

If desired, apply skin sealant to peri-wound skin to protect from exposure to moisture and adhesive.

If desired, a non-adherent dressing may be applied. Trim a single layer of non-adherent gauze and lay across the wound bed.

Apply a layer of saline-moistened antimicrobial gauze to wound bed. Continue to apply in layers, until the gauze loosely fills the entire wound cavity.

Precaution: If multiple pieces of wound filler are needed to fill the wound cavity, count and record how many pieces are present to ensure all wound filler pieces are removed at a dressing change.

While holding transparent film, expose one side of the adhesive backing by removing a single panel, and apply over the wound.

Cover wound filler with transparent film, removing adhesive panels to seal, then top stabilization panel.

Film should extend at least 5cm beyond the wound margin and be securely anchored to periwound area to maintain a good seal. When using multiple pieces of film overlap the edges by a minimum of 7.5cm.

Cut a small opening (no less than 2cm) in the centre of the film, over the wound filler. Remove any loose transparent film and dispose of away from the wound.

Remove the adhesive panel from the Soft Port dressing, and align the opening directly over the cut hole in the transparent film.

Use gentle pressure to anchor the Soft Port to the transparent film.

Smooth the dressing down while removing the Soft Port’s top stabilization frame.

Secure the Soft Port to the patient according to local protocol. Ensure the aeration disc, located near the quick click connector is not covered.

Connect the RENASYS Soft Port to the canister tubing by pushing the quick click connectors together.

Activate the RENASYS device and adjust to the prescribed therapy level. Finished dressing should be hard to the touch and leak-free.

Dressing the wound: RENASYS™-G with Soft Port Dressing Dressing the wound: RENASYS -F with Soft Port Dressing

Dressing changesRENASYS™-G (gauze) dressings should be changed 48 hours after the initial application of therapy. If no leak is present and the patient is comfortable, dressing changes should occur 2-3 times per week.RENASYS-F (foam) dressings should be changed every 48 to 72 hours after the initial application of therapy. If no leak is present and the patient is comfortable, dressing changes should occur no less than 3 times per week.These are recommended guidelines only as many factors influence dressing change frequency, such as heavy drainage, drainage with sediment or infected wounds. Check dressings regularly and monitor the wound to check for signs of infection. Infected wounds may require more frequent dressing changes. If there any signs of systemic infection or advancing infection at the wound site contact the treating clinician immediately.

If RENASYS-F with Soft Port dressing adheres to the woundAfter powering the device down, apply normal saline into the wound dressing and let it soak for 15-30 minutes before gently removing the foam. Dispose of the dressing in accordance with local guidelines.

Canister selectionThe RENASYS GO device can only be used with 300ml (66800914) or Large (66800916) canister kit. Always use the smallest canister possible. Canister kits are single patient use. Do not reuse. The canister kit should be changed when the canister is full or at least once a week. If the canister shows any sign of damage, discard and use a new canister.

If desired, a non-adherent dressing may be applied. Trim a single layer of non-adherent gauze and lay across the wound bed.

Cut the foam dressing to fit the size and shape of the wound and place the cut foam into the wound. Avoid overpacking. Foam should completely fill the wound cavity. It may be necessary to stack pieces of foam in deep wounds.

Precaution: If multiple pieces of wound filler are needed to fill the wound cavity, count and record how many pieces are present to ensure all wound filler pieces are removed at dressing change.
