Suggested Use:
Ideal for partial- and full-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and surgical wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. Apply directly to the wound bed and cover with a secondary dressing. Change as needed based on exudate levels or as directed by a healthcare professional.
For best results, cleanse the wound before application and monitor for signs of healing or infection. Consult a medical professional for severe or non-healing wounds.
