Application Tips

Initially, change daily based on exudate levels. As exudate decreases, dressing wear time can be extended as clinically appropriate. Always use with a secondary dressing.

Practical Tips

• ✅ Gently pack cavities without overfilling.
• ✅ Select an appropriate secondary dressing to maintain a moist environment.
• ✅ For compression therapy, combine with appropriate bandaging.

Recommended Secondary Dressings

• ✅ Dry to Moderate Exudate: Use with Mepilex Border Flex
