Dressings, sterile, occlusive

After the tape mask removal the exudate is cleaned by sterile saline. Spot peeling and retaping may be done if the skin looks underpeeled, particularly in areas with severe wrinkling. It is usually accompanied by a short-duration burning sensation. The tape is left for an additional 4-6 h and then removed by the patient. We cover the face with bismuth subgalate antiseptic powder for 7 days (Fig. 8.10). Other options include occlusive moisturizers, antibiotic ointments, and biosynthetic occlusive dressings such as Meshed Omiderm. 

After cutting, the pieces of occlusive dressings are installed on a sterile base, easy to take.
