Inadine Non Adherent Dressing 5 x 5cm x 1 dressing

Inadine is a sterile wound dressing containing 10% povidone-iodine, designed to help reduce bacterial growth in wounds and support the natural healing process. The dressing is non-adherent, helping to minimise trauma and discomfort during dressing changes.

What is Inadine used for?

Inadine may be used on a variety of wounds, including:

• Minor burns and scalds
• Cuts and abrasions
• Surgical wounds
• Traumatic wounds
• Ulcers (leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers under healthcare supervision)
• Donor and recipient graft sites

How does Inadine work?

The dressing slowly releases iodine into the wound, providing broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria and other microorganisms. As the iodine is released, the dressing gradually changes from its brown colour to white, indicating that it may need changing.

How do I apply an Inadine dressing?

1. Clean the wound according to healthcare advice.
2. Remove the dressing from its pouch.
3. Place the dressing directly over the wound.
4. Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing if required.
5. Secure in place with tape or a bandage.

Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

How often should the dressing be changed?

The dressing should be changed:

• When it loses its characteristic brown colour and becomes white.
• According to your healthcare professional's instructions.
• Depending on the amount of wound exudate and the condition of the wound.

Is Inadine suitable for infected wounds?

Inadine may be used on wounds that are infected or at risk of infection. However, if a wound shows signs of worsening infection, such as increasing redness, swelling, pain, or discharge, seek medical advice promptly.

Can Inadine be used on burns?

Yes. Inadine is commonly used on minor burns and scalds to help reduce the risk of infection and support healing.

Who should not use Inadine?

Do not use Inadine if:

• You are allergic to iodine or povidone-iodine.
• You have certain thyroid disorders unless advised by a healthcare professional.
• You are receiving radioactive iodine treatment.
• The dressing is intended for use on newborn babies without medical supervision.

Can I use Inadine during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Consult your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist before using Inadine during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as iodine can be absorbed through the skin.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are uncommon but may include:

• Skin irritation
• Redness
• Allergic reactions
• Sensitivity to iodine

Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience signs of an allergic reaction.

Can Inadine be cut to size?

Yes. Inadine can be cut to fit smaller wounds if necessary, using clean scissors and appropriate aseptic technique.

Does Inadine stick to the wound?

No. Inadine is designed to be low-adherent, helping to reduce pain and trauma when the dressing is removed.

How should Inadine be stored?

• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Keep in the original packaging until use.
• Keep out of the sight and reach of children.

When should I seek medical advice?

Seek medical attention if:

• The wound becomes more painful, red, swollen, or produces excessive discharge.
• Healing does not improve.
• You develop signs of an allergic reaction.
• You have a large, deep, or severely infected wound.

Always read the product packaging and follow the advice of your healthcare professional before use.
