How to use
2. Select an appropriate dressing size for the wound. The dressing may overlap the wound margins if needed.
3. Remove the dressing from the peel pouch using an aseptic technique.
4. If needed, cut across the dressing using an aseptic technique. Do not cut over the wound. Discard any unused dressing.
5. Apply the dressing. Ensure that the dressing comes into direct contact with the complete wound surface to allow hydrophobic microbes to bind to the dressing. In wound cavities, avoid dense packing. Always leave a part of the dressing outside the cavity for easy removal. If the dressing is cut, always leave the cut end outside the wound to avoid residual threads.
6. Apply a secondary dressing appropriate for the exudate level such as a foam dressing, absorbent pad or gelling fiber dressing, and fixate.
7. The dressing change frequency depends on exudate levels and the overall condition of the wound and surrounding skin. Should the clinical condition allow, the dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days.
How to Remove
Should the dressing adhere to the wound, moisten the dressing to assist removal and to avoid disruption of wound bed and surrounding tissue.
