How to use?

Step 1

Prepare the wound according to local clinical practice.

Step 2

Select an appropriate dressing size for the wound. The dressing can be unfolded into suitable size and may overlap the wound margins if necessary.

Step 3

Remove the dressing from the pouch using an aseptic technique.

Step 4

If cutting the dressing, use an aseptic technique. Discard any open and unused dressing.

Step 5

Apply the dressing. Ensure that the dressing comes into direct contact with the complete wound surface. In cavity wounds and fistulas, unfold and fluff up one or more dressings and line/fill the cavity or fistula. Avoid dense packing.

Step 6

Apply an appropriate secondary dressing.

Step 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.
