Suggested Use:
This dressing is ideal for partial- and full-thickness wounds, including pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical wounds with moderate to heavy drainage. Before application, cleanse the wound with a suitable solution. Place the dressing directly on the wound bed, covering it completely. Secure with a secondary dressing if needed. Change as clinically indicated or when the dressing is saturated.
For best results, monitor the wound regularly and consult a healthcare professional for guidance on frequency of dressing changes.
