Immuno-compromised patients and diabetic patients may require extra supervision. Care should be taken to avoid skin damage by repeated applications on patients with thin or fragile skin.

If required, record the wound size. Remove the green grid and keep in patient's records.

Removal & Change Frequency

To remove the dressing, lift one corner and slowly stretch the film in a motion that is parallel to the skin. Handle and dispose of the used dressing with care. Can be left in place for up to 7 days.
