Usage/Application

Ideal for moderate-to-heavily draining wounds, pressure injuries, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and other wounds requiring absorbent foam coverage as 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 moderate-to-heavily draining wounds, applying the highly 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 manages higher levels of exudate. 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.
