MPD Protocol for Bruising Prophylaxis (Prevention) and Treatment
Applying Miracle Professional Dressing (MPD)
Skin tears and ecchymoses are the result of trauma, even slight, in elderly, thin and fragile skinned people. The healing is slow. Because each wound weakens the area further, it is commonly the site of repeated injuries.
1. Clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide or soap and water.
2. Rinse with water and pat dry with gauze.
3. If skin is torn, gently place skin back over wound. If a burn creates an intact blister, drain it using a sterile needle and leave the skin in place.
4. Peel off MPD backing.
5. Place the MPD over the wound and surrounding skin when the skin is in its fully
stretched position.
Massage down the edges.
6. Leave the MPD in place until it falls off (typically about 21 days). To remove the dressing earlier than the suggested time period, use isopropyl alcohol.
7. At least once a day, swab the bandage with gauze, using water. MPD is designed to get wet (such as shower, but not soaked as with swimming).
8. If exudate or blood are present, clean the dressing with wet gauze, using soap and water.
