INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Site Preparation
Debride when necessary and irrigate the wound site in accordance with
standard protocols.
Remove excess solution from surrounding skin.
Dressing Selection
Select a size of MPM ExcelGinate® AG Dressing that is slightly larger
than the wound.
Dressing Application
1.
Cut using clean scissors or fold the dressing to fit the wound,
either side down.
2.
Loosely pack deep wounds, ensuring the dressing does not overlap
the wound margins.
3.
For heavily exudating wounds, apply to the wound bed directly. For
wounds with minimal exudates, apply to a sterile water or saline moistened
wound bed.
4.
Cover and secure MPM ExcelGinate®AG Dressing with a non-occlusive
secondary dressing.
1.
Dressing change frequency will depend on patient condition and the
level of exudates. Initially it may be necessary to change the dressing every 24 hours.
2.
Reapply MPM ExcelGinate® AG Dressing when the secondary dressing has reached
its absorbent capacity or whenever good wound care practice dictates that the
dressing should be changed.
3.
Gently remove the secondary ressing.
4.
If the wound appears dry, saturate the dressing with sterile water or normal
saline solutions prior to removal.
5.
Gently remove the dressing from the wound bed and discard.
6.
Irrigate the wound site with a suitable wound cleanser prior to application
of a new dressing.
