•Clean the wound using a physiological solution or as instructed by a clinician.
•Choose a suitable dressing size for the wound, ensuring that the central pad exceeds the edges of the wound by approximately 1 to 2 cm. Do not cut the absorbent green pad. The transparent border can be cut in order to adapt the dressing e.g. to a concave form.
•Before applying the dressing, after rinsing the wound, make sure that the surrounding skin is dry by using swabs to ensure that the dressing adheres.
•Remove the two protective sheets. Place the adherent side of the dressing onto the wound, so that the green side faces away from the wound.
•Press down the adhesive edges firmly and avoid wrinkles in the border to ensure the dressing stays securely in place.
•No additional fixation is required, if indicated, compression bandages can be applied as instructed by a clinician.
•The dressing can remain on the wound for up to 5 days depending on the condition of the wound and the established clinical protocol.
•The dressing must be changed if clinically indicated or when exudate reaches the rim of the absorbent pad.
