Mode of Use/Application

Cleanse and assess the wound bed as appropriate. Select a dressing size 1" larger than the maximum wound dimension (length or width) to allow a minimum of 1/2" of skin contact beyond the wound margin.
Remove one side of the film liner and, without tension, place dressing over wound and surrounding skin. Remove remaining film liner and, without tension, smooth dressing over wound and surrounding skin.
Use an appropriate secondary absorbent dressing to cover the contact layer dressing. See package insert for complete instructions on frequency of dressing change.

Removal & Change Frequency

McKesson Contact Layer Dressings can be left in place for up to 14 days, depending on the condition of the wound. The secondary absorbent dressing needs replacing during the 14-day period as and when needed.
