Spontaneous call from pt reporting difficulty in using the tegadem, and iv3000 as they stick to his site when trying to remove dressing.Pt advised he tried using a "falsie" so that they wouldn't stick to site but was advised by rn at md office that creates an issue with sterility and that should not be used.Pt also purchased bandages from local pharmacy with adhesive just around the edges which has been working.Author advised we have primapore and mepilex dressings which do not have adhesive in the middle.Pt advised he thinks he may have tried primapore and had a reaction to the adhesive.Pt added he was unable to use the smaller primapore and still has larger primapore if he would have to use those.Author suggested he try the mepilex dressing since it does not have adhesive in the middle of the bandage.Pt reported he still has sores from reaction to adhesive at his previous site.No other information or dates available.Reported to (b)(6) by: patient/caregiver.
