Wound care clinicians managing patients with venous stasis leg ulcers, thrombophlebitis, and lymphatic edema who need the added soothing benefit of calamine for patients with skin irritation or pruritus at the wound site will find the Dynarex 3109A a calamine-formula alternative to the standard zinc oxide bandage.

Hospitals, wound care clinics, and long-term care facilities that stock both standard and calamine Unna boot options will find the 3109A the appropriate choice when calamine is clinically indicated.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the calamine formula over the standard formula?
The calamine formula is preferred when the patient's skin is irritated, inflamed, or pruritic at or around the wound site. Calamine provides mild antipruritic and soothing properties in addition to the zinc oxide compression therapy. If calamine is not clinically indicated or the patient has a sensitivity to calamine, use the standard zinc oxide formula (SKU 3109) instead.

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.
