Cleanse the wound using conventional, non oil-based techniques and leave the wound moist.
Remove ACTICOAT^◊ Absorbent Dressing from the package.
Apply the dressing to the wound, either side down, and secure with an appropriate secondary dressing that will maintain a moist environment.
Ensure the dressing remains moist, but not so wet that tissue maceration occurs.
Change the dressing depending on the amount of exudate and the condition of the wound.If the dressing dries and adheres to the wound, moisten or soak the dressing prior to removal.
Avoid forceful removal of the dressing and disruption of the healing wound.
