The DrySee™ Bandage with Pad is a waterproof barrier dressing with a wetness indicator. The dressing consists of a non-adherent absorbent cotton pad bonded to a clear film with a non-latex skin adhesive. The film is a barrier to prevent contamination from the outside. An outer absorbent ring intercepts and traps moisture which may intrude, possibly from a shower. When wet, the color of the cotton pad changes from light blue to darker blue.

When selecting the appropriate waterproof bandage size, ensure the absorbent pad will fully cover the wound. The adhesive portion of the bandage should adhere only to healthy skin.

Be sure to properly clean and prepare your wound prior to applying the bandage. Once your wound has been prepped for dressing, remove the plastic backing and carefully apply the waterproof adhesive bandage to your wound. Follow application instructions to ensure proper bandage adhesion.

Remember to monitor the liquid intrusion alert built into the bandage for signs the bandage has become wet and needs to be changed. If the indicators turn dark blue, the waterproof bandage should be replaced.

Proper wound cleaning in preparation for bandaging is imperative as it helps reduce the risk of the wound becoming infected.
