How is AquaGuard used?
AquaGuard is an impermeable moisture barrier used to protect
primary dressings, surgical incision sites, intravenous
catheters, dialysis shunts, stomas and wound protection during a
shower. It is not designed for use in the bath, hot tubs or for
swimming.
What size of AquaGuard should I use?
Be sure to select the correct size of AquaGuard for the wound
or device type. The
listed product sizes represent the outside dimensions. When
ordering, select the AquaGuard size that is larger than the
actual area needing coverage. For areas needing range of motion,
such as knees and elbows, select the AquaGuard product that is
one size larger than the area needing coverage.
How is AquaGuard applied?
- Select an AquaGuard bandage that is large enough to
adhere to SKIN ONLY (not to wound, device or primary
dressing).
- Clean and dry area to be covered. Remove one sheet from
the plastic packaging. Bend the adhesive corners back to
form "tabs".
- Remove the adhesive backing from the top or bottom of
AquaGuard and apply to site. Press down firmly to adhere to
skin.
- Remove adhesive backing from left and right sides of
AquaGuard, making sure that the exposed adhesive does not
touch your dressing or device. Press down firmly to adhere
to skin. Pinch together excess material to form a pleat and
fold to side to seal the material.
- Remove adhesive backing from the last side of AquaGuard
and press down firmly, completing the coverage of your
primary dressing or site. Pinch together excess material to
form a pleat and fold to side to seal the material.
- Repeat pressure on all sides of adhesive as a final
securing step.
- To remove, start at either the top left or right corner
and gently peel AquaGuard down in the same direction as hair
growth, being careful not to disturb the primary dressing or
device.
Does AquaGuard contain latex?
AquaGuard does not contain natural latex or latex proteins.
Does AquaGuard contain DEHP?
No, AquaGuard is DEHP free.
Where is AquaGuard made?
AquaGuard is an FDA registered facility, Class I medical
device and manufactured in the USA at an FDA Approved, certified
to ISO 13485:2003 standards, utilizing Good Manufacturing
Practices (GMP) to ensure product safety and quality.
Is AquaGuard harmful to skin?
The AquaGuard adhesive is designed to be gentle on delicate
skin. This is especially important when used on areas with thin
skin, or with pediatric or geriatric patients.
Is AquaGuard covered by my insurance?
Home care supplies like AquaGuard are occasionally covered by
insurance. Check with your insurance provider about what is
covered under your policy.
Does AquaGuard replace primary dressings?
AquaGuard is not a replacement for primary dressings.
AquaGuard is a supplementary wound or dressing protection
product. AquaGuard is used to protect a primary dressing or
wound while showering or sponge bathing.
How is AquaGuard different from other shower
protection methods?
Handmade moisture barriers like plastic wrap and garbage bags
commonly have a 30% or higher failure rate, which can lead to
infection and expensive dressing changes. AquaGuard’s
unique design keeps IV and surgical sites dry when showering. It
is easy to apply and is clinically proven to be reliable. It
also is disposable, so it eliminates contamination and infection
risk from reusable coverings.
