Use Suggestion:
This dressing is ideal for Stage I-IV pressure ulcers, partial-thickness wounds, and donor sites. Cleanse the wound area thoroughly before application. Remove the backing and apply the dressing smoothly over the wound, ensuring full contact with intact skin. Replace every 3-7 days or as needed, depending on exudate levels and clinical condition. For best results, monitor the wound regularly and adjust dressing frequency accordingly.
Note: Not suitable for infected wounds or heavy exudate without additional care. Consult a healthcare professional for proper wound assessment and treatment.
