Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between standard and calamine Unna paste bandages?
The standard formula contains zinc oxide without calamine. Calamine versions add a mild antipruritic agent. The standard formula is preferred when calamine is not clinically indicated or when the patient has a sensitivity to calamine.

How is an Unna paste bandage applied?
The bandage is applied in a spiral wrap from the foot to just below the knee, with each layer overlapping the previous by approximately 50%. It is typically applied by a trained clinician and left in place for several days before being changed. Always follow the prescribing clinician's instructions for application and change frequency.

How long does the bandage stay in place?
Unna paste bandages are typically changed every 5 to 7 days, depending on the amount of wound drainage and the clinician's assessment. The bandage hardens slightly after application, providing semi-rigid compression support.

Is this bandage latex-free?
Check the product packaging for latex content information. If the patient has a known latex sensitivity, confirm latex-free status with the manufacturer before use.
