Usage/Application

Ideal for wound care situations involving odor, drainage, chronic wounds, ulcers, pressure injuries, surgical wounds, or other wounds where an activated charcoal and silver dressing has been recommended by a healthcare professional. Suitable for clinical care, long-term care facilities, assisted living, home care, and caregiver-supported wound management. Use the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional for wounds with odor, drainage, or complexity, applying it per the wound-care plan and securing it with an appropriate secondary dressing or fixation as instructed. The activated charcoal layer helps absorb odor-causing materials, and the silver component provides antimicrobial support, which should be used according to clinical guidance and for the recommended duration rather than indefinitely. Select the size appropriate to the wound, change the dressing according to the wound-care plan, monitor the wound for increased drainage, redness, odour, or other signs of infection, and follow the care team's guidance, since chronic, complex, infected, or non-healing wounds require professional assessment.
