ACTICOAT^◊ Moisture Control may be used under compression bandages. Cut the dressing to the size of the wound, check regularly and change it.
The dressing may be left in place up to 7 days, but will require earlier changing if a strikethrough of exudate occurs.
The dressing may adhere if used on lightly exuding wounds. If the dressing is not easily removed, moisten or soak to assist removal and avoid disruption of the wound.

Note: ACTICOAT^◊ Moisture Control may cause transient discoloration of the surrounding skin.
