Q&A
How do I choose the right bandage?
Choose a bandage that completely covers your wound, stays securely in place, helps keep the area clean and protected, and maintains a moist healing environment.
When should I choose PowerHeal® bandages with adhesive versus no adhesive?
Choose the Bioelectric Bandage Kit With Adhesive if you want an all-in-one solution. It includes a bioelectric bandage with a water-resistant adhesive outer layer, plus Energel® activating wound hydrogel. It is ideal for most skin types, comes in multiple sizes to fit a wide range of wounds, and is water-resistant, durable for daily use, and easy to apply.
Choose the Bioelectric Bandage Kit With No Adhesive if you have sensitive skin or need more flexibility. The single-layer bioelectric bandage can be cut into smaller pieces or combined with additional bandages, making it a good option for wounds with challenging shapes, sizes, or locations. It may also be a better choice for larger wounds that cannot be accommodated by the adhesive kit. Please note that you will need to provide your own adhesive covering or gauze wrap to keep the bandage in place. This kit includes a bioelectric bandage, plus Energel activating wound hydrogel.
Both options are suitable for cuts, scrapes, abrasions, blisters, minor burns, and other superficial wounds.
When selecting a bandage size, make sure the bioelectric pad extends 0.5 to 1 inch beyond the edges of your wound. Visit our Product Comparison page for additional assistance.
When should I change PowerHeal® bandages?
Bandages should be changed based on the condition of your wound and the surrounding skin. For example, if your wound has a lot of drainage, you may need to change the bandage once or twice a day, especially in the early stages of healing. As your wound heals, drainage typically decreases. Once drainage slows or stops, you may be able to change the bandage every 2 to 3 days.
A PowerHeal bandage may remain in place for up to 7 days before it needs to be changed. Total continuous use should not exceed 28 days. If treatment is required beyond this period, consult a physician.
How do I apply PowerHeal® bandages with adhesive?
Please refer to the Instructions for Use for steps on how to use the PowerHeal bandages with adhesive.
How do I apply PowerHeal® bandages with no adhesive?
If your wound is draining, place an absorbent gauze pad over the PowerHeal bandage.
Secure the bandage using a method that works best for you, such as a self-adherent wrap, gauze wrap or roll, or gentle medical tape.
Some coverings do not prevent moisture loss like an adhesive covering. Monitor your wound and bandage to help ensure the area remains moist.
What are PowerHeal® bioelectric bandages made of?
PowerHeal bandages with adhesive are three-layer bandages that include:
- A polyester bioelectric bandage layer with embedded microcell batteries made of elemental silver and elemental zinc.
- A polyester-based absorbent pad layer.
- A durable yet gentle polyurethane/acrylic adhesive border that helps maintain a moist wound environment and keeps the bandage securely in place.
PowerHeal bandages with no adhesive are single-layer bandages that include:
- A polyester bioelectric bandage layer with embedded microcell batteries made of elemental silver and elemental zinc.
PowerHeal bandages do not contain natural rubber latex.
What is Energel® wound hydrogel, and what is it used for?
Energel wound hydrogel contains water, moisture-retention polymers, and preservatives (parabens). It is used to help protect wounds from friction, abrasion, and drying out. It can also be used to activate the microcell batteries in PowerHeal bioelectric bandages.
Energel wound hydrogel does not contain natural rubber latex.
