Estimating the Number and Size of Sheets

Estimate the number of sheets of INTEGRA™ Bilayer Matrix Wound Dressing you will need available using the following guidelines.

Determine the size of the area to be covered
Determine product size (e.g., 20x25cm). If you
are planning to mesh the INTEGRA™ Bilayer Matrix Wound Dressing, it is suggested that you use the 10x25cm (4x10 inch) size.
Calculate the number of sheets by dividing the Surface Area by Sheet Area (e.g., 1750cm/500cm = 3.5 sheets)
Due to difficulties in estimating surface area and losses due to trimming, it is often advisable to allow for an additional 10% (e.g., 3.5 sheets x 1.10 = 3.85 Sheets)

Approximate surface area per sheet of INTEGRA™ Bilayer Matrix Wound Dressing

2 x 2 inches = 25 sq. cm.
4 x 5 inches = 125 sq. cm.
4 x 10 inches = 250 sq. cm.
8 x 10 inches = 500 sq. cm.
