Instructions for Use
Step 1. Wash hands before and after treating the wound.
Step 2. Gently clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin. Any excess hair should be clipped to ensure close approximation to the wound. Stop any bleeding (apply gentle pressure if necessary) and ensure that the skin is completely dry around the wound.
Step 3. Remove dressing from the pouch. Do not cut the dressing.
Step 4. Remove the top half of the backing paper.
Step 5. Remove the second half of the backing paper and smooth the dressing down, without stretching, ensuring the pad fully covers the wound.
Step 6. Remove carefully, particularly with elderly or fragile skin. Support skin with free hand whilst gently peeling dressing away in direction of hair growth. Change the dressing as necessary (for example: if wet or the pad is soiled).

Frequent dressing changes can result in skin reddening or damage to skin, particularly on patients with fragile skin or dermatological conditions.
