MDS Protocol for Bruising Treatment

Applying Miracle Dressing Wound Care System (MDS)

Skin tears and ecchymoses (bruises) 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.

Miracle Dressing Wound Care System Kit Includes

• Miracle Dressing (MD) in pre-cut strips. With water contact, the pore design allows cleaning of the wound including the removal of blood and exudate.
• Agglutinant
• Humectant: Miracle of the Sea Aloe® Vera Gel with Natural Marine Extract
• Cotton tipped swabs

There are single use and multi-use kits.

Miracle Dressing is an FDA Class I medical device which has been shown to help heal help heal bruises (ecchymoses / purpura). It is designed to stay in place for about three weeks and then fall off on its own. Miracle Dressing should not be removed prematurely.

MDS Application

1. 1. Clean the wound and surrounding skin with hydrogen peroxide or soap and water followed by rinsing with water.
   2. Re-orient any flaps of skin over its corresponding wound bed using one of the enclosed cotton tipped swabs.
   3. Blot dry.
   4. Apply agglutinant over the bruised area making sure to extend at least 1" beyond the edges of where the Miracle Dressing will be placed. ALLOW TO DRY FOR 2 MINUTES.
   5. Cut the Miracle Dressing to fit over the skin with agglutinant. If the wound and surrounding ecchymoses is too large for one MD strip, overlap additional strips with ½ inch overlap.
   6. Pull on the small tab on the upper right corner of the MD paper backing to easily remove each Miracle Dressing strip from the backing before placing on skin. If there is no longer a tab, remove Miracle Dressing (MD) from its backing by attaching a piece of Scotch Tape (or other tape) onto the corner skin-colored MD and lifting away from the backing.
   7. Place the first Miracle Dressing strip over the wound and at least 1″ beyond.
   8. Clean any excess peripheral agglutinant with alcohol on a gauze pad.
   9. Pat down all the edges of the dressing

   MDS Maintenance

   1. At least once or twice a day, immerse the Miracle Dressing with water (shower, saturated gauze or wash cloth compresses).Blot the Miracle Dressing dry after water immersion and then:Apply the enclosed Miracle of The Sea Aloe Vera Gel with Natural Marine Extract – or your favorite humectant - after every water immersion or at least twice a day.

      Using one of the enclosed cotton tipped swabs, spread a small amount of Aloe Vera Gel / humectant onto the Miracle Dressing and allow it to be absorbed into the wound and the surrounding skin through the Miracle Dressing.

      If you are also applying an antibiotic ointment use only after the Aloe Vera Gel / humectant. Please use this sparingly so as not to clog the Miracle Dressing’s pores. Use 1/8 of pea size – and only over the wound area.

   2. A damp absorbent pad or gauze can be placed over the Miracle Dressing to collect excessive oozing. The drying action of this gauze will pull excess exudate away from the wound. If the wound is only oozing slightly, apply dry gauze only when needed to protect clothing or bedsheets.
   3. Do not remove Miracle Dressing unless there is severe pain, redness and swelling. To remove, place a gauze soaked with isopropyl alcohol over the portion of the MD that is surrounding the wound for 5 minutes and carefully remove, starting from the edges.
