Usage/Application

Ideal for wounds requiring absorbent foam coverage, including pressure injuries, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, skin tears, and abrasions when directed by a healthcare professional. Suitable for hospitals, clinics, wound-care centres, long-term care, assisted living, and healthcare-directed home care. Use the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional to cover and protect draining wounds, applying the absorbent foam over the wound and securing it with an appropriate secondary fixation when needed, since it uses a Safetac® contact layer rather than a full adhesive border. The Safetac® technology supports gentle removal to help protect fragile or sensitive skin and reduce trauma, and the foam absorbs exudate and cushions the wound. Select the size appropriate to the wound and its drainage, change the dressing according to the wound-care plan, monitor 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.
