Mode of Use/Application

Cleanse and debride the wound area as necessary. Remove excess solution from surrounding skin. Select a dressing that is slightly larger than the wound. Dressing can be trimmed (using sterile scissors) or folded to fit.
Loosely pack deep wounds, ensuring the dressing does not overlap the wound margins.
Cover and secure the dressing with a non-occlusive or semi-occlusive secondary dressing, such as McKesson Hydrophilic Foam Dressing with PHMB.
Discard any remaining dressing material due to risk of contamination. McKesson Gelling Fiber Dressing can be used under compression.

Removal & Change Frequency

Can remain in situ for up to 7 days, dependent on patient condition and the level of exudate. Reapply the dressing when the secondary dressing has reached its absorbent capacity or whenever good wound care practice dictates that the dressing be changed.

Additional Recommended Dressings

Cover and secure the dressing with an appropriate secondary dressing, such as a foam or barrier island dressing. Can be used under compression.
