• Aids autolytic debridement
• Allows for the non-traumatic removal of the dressing without damaging newly formed tissue

Carefully cleanse the wound with saline and dry surrounding skin carefully to remove any greasy substances since these will interfere with the adhesion of the dressing. Swab the piercing spike (on cap) with alcohol. Remove the cap and puncture the tube's opening by inverting the cap and pressing on the metal membrane. NOTE: A small amount of clear liquid may be evident when the tube is opened. This is normal and is not an indication of product deterioration. Squeeze the paste into the wound. Smooth, if necessary, using a sterile spatula or a sterile gloved finger. The surface of the paste should not protrude above the level of the surrounding skin (excess paste should be removed). NOTE: Do not allow paste on the surrounding normal skin, otherwise the adherence of the dressing will be impaired. Select an appropriate moisture retentive dressing examples being Versiva XC, DuoDERM or CombiDERM dressing of appropriate size so that it extends at least 3.2cm onto normal skin. Apply in a rolling motion and hold gently in place to ensure good adhesion. NOTE: Refer to the instructions accompanying the Dressing for further information.
