How to use InterDry®
InterDry moisture-wicking fabric with antimicrobial silver protects red, irritated skin in and around skin folds by keeping the area dry and reducing colonization in the fabric.
Refer to product package for complete instructions including directions for use, indications, precautions, warnings, storage, and other information. If skin irritation does not improve or worsens over time, talk to a physician or other health care professional.
-
Wash skin gently. Pat dry, do not rub.
-
With clean scissors, cut enough fabric to cover the affected area, allowing for a minimum of 2 inches to extend beyond the skin fold for moisture evaporation.
-
Lay a single layer of fabric in the skin fold, placing one edge into the base of the fold. Gently smooth the rest of the fabric over the skin, keeping it flat.
-
Leave at least 2 inches of the fabric exposed outside the skin fold.
-
Secure the fabric in one of several ways: with the skin fold, with a small amount of skin-friendly tape, or tucked under clothing.
-
Remove the fabric before bathing and reuse it when finished. When removing, gently separate the skin fold and lift away.
Helpful hints
- InterDry can be written on with a ballpoint pen. It may be helpful to label InterDry with the date it was placed on the patient, or follow your facility’s protocols.
- Each piece of InterDry may be used up to 5 days, depending on fabric soiling, odor, amount of moisture and general skin condition. Replace InterDry if it becomes soiled with blood, urine or stool.
- Do not use creams, ointments or powders with InterDry as it may interfere with product efficacy.
