The Medipore + pad soft cloth adhesive dressing is not intended to replace sutures or other primary wound closure methods. The dressing should be changed if not intact. An intact dressing is one that has been properly applied to achieve and maintain good adhesion, at least around the total periphery of the dressing. For best results, the dressing should be large enough to have a margin which adheres to dry, healthy skin around the wound site. The site should be observed frequently for signs of infection. If infection occurs (which may be signaled by fever, pain, redness, swelling or an unusual odor or discharge), remove the dressing and take standard precautions.
