These dressings are produced through a patented process combining PVA foam with two organic pigments, Methylene Blue and Gentian Violet. The unique construction provides a matrix that allows the dressing to absorb wound exudate and provide broad spectrum bacteriostatic protection. 1. Trim to inner diameter of the Hydrofera Blue Ostomy dressing to fit around the stoma. If needed, trim the outer edge of the dressing as well, so there is at least 1/2″ of the skin barrier extending beyond the outer edge of the dressing. 2. Apply the film side of the dressing to the Ostomy skin barrier. 3. Apply the skin barrier to the skin. A new Hydrofera Blue Ostomy dressing should be applied when the skin barrier is changed. Hydrofera Blue dressings should be changed every 1-3 days depending on the level of exudate and the condition of the wound.
