Warnings
Sterility is guaranteed unless the pouch is opened prior to use or damaged. This is for single use only and should not be reused.
During the body's normal healing process, non-viable tissue is removed from the wound, this could make the wound appear larger after the first few dressing changes. If the wound continues to get larger after the first few dressing changes, consult a health care professional.
Should you observe irritation, maceration, excess tissue formation, or an allergic reaction consult a health care professional. If you have any difficulty remvoing the dressing, it should be soaked with water or sterile saline until it removes easily.
Frequent dressing changes on wounds with damaged or delicate sin surrounding the wound are not recommended. The wound should be inspected during dressing changes. Contact a health care professional if:
• Signs of infection occur (increased pain, bleeding, wound drainage) • There is a change in wound colour and/or odour • Any other unexpected symptoms occur
