• Clean the wound using a physiological solution or as instructed by a clinician.
• Select a suitable dressing size and shape for the wound, ensuring that the green absorbent pad exceeds the wound margins by approx. 1 to 2 cm. Do not cut the green absorbent pad. The transparent border can be cut to adapt the dressing to specific body areas, for example into a concave shape.
• Before applying the dressing, after rinsing the wound, make sure that the surrounding skin is dry to ensure that the dressing adheres.
• Remove both 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 7 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 green absorbent pad.
