Mode of Use/Application

1. Cleanse the wound area with an appropriate wound cleanser according to local clinical protocol.
2. Remove PowerHeal® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing from package and, if needed, cut to a shape that will extend beyond wound edges 1cm to 2cm (1/2" to 1"). Caution: cutting may result in fraying of the dressing.
3. Moisten PowerHeal® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing with sterile saline, water or a thin, even layer of water-based hydrogel.
4. Apply PowerHeal® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing with the dotted side down, in direct contact with the wound.
5. Keep the dressing moist by re-moistening as necessary. Avoid over-soaking. Example:
• Dry wounds may require more frequent dressing re-moistening.
