Usage/Application

Ideal for moderate-draining wounds, pressure injuries, skin tears, surgical wounds, abrasions, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and other wounds requiring absorbent foam protection as directed by a healthcare professional. Suitable for home care, clinics, hospitals, long-term care, assisted living, and caregiver-supported wound care. Use the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional to cover and protect moderate-draining wounds, applying it so the silicone adhesive border secures to the skin around the wound, and selecting the size and dressing appropriate to the wound and its drainage. The EX foam offers enhanced absorbency for moderate drainage, and the silicone border supports gentler removal to help protect fragile or sensitive skin and reduce skin tears. 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 deep, infected, or non-healing wounds require professional assessment.
