Gently cleanse the wound area thoroughly of necrotic (damaged) tissue or dressing residue with sterile saline or other appropriate wound cleanser.

Tear open pouch using notched opening.

Remove dressing from pouch and carefully unfold dressing.

Carefully place dressing in the wound so that the whole of the wound bed is covered.

Do not overlay the dressing on the healthy skin surrounding the wound as this could lead to maceration (over-hydration) of the healthy skin.

Secure the dressing in place by placing a secondary dressing of the following type over the total wound area:

• A transparent film such as OPSITE^◊ or OPSITE^◊ FLEXIGRID^◊, especially where the wound is necrotic (full of damaged tissue) or sloughy (full of wound fluid)
• A non-woven, non-sensitizing (non-allergic) dressing such as COVRSITE^◊ or retention tape such as HYPAFIX^◊ where there is little wound drainage
• Gauze held in place with a conforming bandage, a net bandage or a cohesive bandage such as Coban®, where there are skin tears and an adhesive secondary dressing is inappropriate.

If you are unsure of which secondary dressing to use, consult a healthcare professional.

Do not use if pouch is open or punctured.

Storage Conditions:  Store at or below 25ºC (77ºF).
