A Randomized trial of Rapid RhinoRiemann and
Telfa nasal packs following endoscopic sinus surgery.
The
Telfa line includes a nonstick pad used as a first layer of protection for wounds, cuts, abrasions and burns, as well as a nonstick pad with adhesive pads to keep dressing intact.
Cover with a nonstick dressing, such as
Telfa, and wrap with gauze, making sure that it remains loose enough not to impair circulation.
The figure-of-eight bandage, used to immobilize the elbow and carpal joint, (8) consisted of a precut (45 X 15 mm) nonadherent absorbent dressing (
Telfa, Covidien LLC, Mansfield, MA, USA) applied directly on the suture line, followed by a nonprecut, simple layer of synthetic orthopedic soft bandage padding with a length of 600-630 mm and covered by a non-precut, simple layer of stretched cohesive bandage (Vetrap, Henry Schein Inc, Melville, NY, USA) with a length of 600-630 mm.
According to his non- randomized prospective trial
Telfa and Paraffin gauze caused less bleeding and were less painful than the both Merocel and BIPP pack8.
Daniel applies bacitracin/polymyxin ointment, followed by a
Telfa pad, 2-by-2-inch or 4-by-4-inch dressings, tube gauze, and then paper tape, making sure that the dressing is not too tight.
A
Telfa pack was placed in the nose to support the Gelfoam.
Nevertheless, our department has also begun to place a nonadherent (
Telfa) dressing below the dry compress to limit any mechanical shearing forces to the skin overlying the implants.
The left leg wounds were still intermittently bleeding and were dressed with a
Telfa pad (Covidien, Mansfield, MA, USA) and wrapped with Tegaderm dressing (3M, St Paul, MN, USA).
For example, Can-Am Care LLC featured two different sizes of its Kendall
Telfa Antimicrobial Adhesive Bandage at the NACDS Marketplace Conference this summer.
Most of these patients (79%) were lysed under local anesthesia, given a
Telfa spacer, and did not experience a recurrence.
