There is a good capillary network and subcutaneous adipose tissue serves as a cushion
Normal skin is well hydrated and the dermal and epidermal layers are anchored by rete ridges.
![Page 15: Combatbandage](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5564b7fdd8b42a98268b53f4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
dermal and epidermal layers of skin. Adipose tissue is diminished and there is a decline in blood supply
Skin tears are major problem for the elderly, due to a loss of dermal thickness and flattening of the rete ridges which anchor
![Page 16: Combatbandage](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5564b7fdd8b42a98268b53f4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Your primary goal is going to be protective and to prevent additional trauma by eliminating the use of tapes or adhesives. Combat Bandage can easily fulfill this goal. It can also be added to a plan of care for further prevention
Skin tears fall into various categories and can be as simple as a superficial linear tear
![Page 17: Combatbandage](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5564b7fdd8b42a98268b53f4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Combat Bandage will, again, help to maintain your primary dressing without tape and will protect from further damage

![Page 18: Combatbandage](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5564b7fdd8b42a98268b53f4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Combat Bandage will keep a dressing in place which may be bulky in order to absorb the exudate
Some category II tears have a moderate to large tissue loss and may be highly exudating
![Page 19: Combatbandage](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5564b7fdd8b42a98268b53f4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Combat Bandage has some light compression to aid in coagulation and exudate control in these deeper wounds
Category III tears are into deeper tissue and will often have large amounts of exudate
![Page 20: Combatbandage](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5564b7fdd8b42a98268b53f4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
