Frequently asked questions
Why use a specific tracheostomy compress rather than a standard compress ?
The tracheostomy compress has a central opening adapted to the cannula and a metallic surface that prevents adhesion to wet skin. This prevents trauma during dressing changes and effectively protects the peristomal area from irritation caused by secretions and friction.
How often should the Métalline compress be changed around the tracheostomy ?
The frequency depends on the amount of exudate and recommendations from the healthcare professional. In general, daily or more frequent changes are necessary if the compress is soiled or wet, to maintain optimal hygiene and prevent infection.
Is the Métalline compress suitable for all types of tracheal cannulae ?
The central opening is designed to fit most standard tracheal cannulae. Its shape and 8 x 9 cm dimensions allow sufficient coverage of the peristomal area while allowing the cannula to pass through without obstruction.
