How to Use

1. Cleanse the wound area thoroughly with saline or a wound cleanser, following standard clinical practice.
2. Select the appropriate size of Mepilex Border Sacrum Ag dressing to ensure it covers the wound and overlaps onto the surrounding healthy skin by at least 2 cm.
3. Remove the release films from the adhesive side of the dressing.
4. Gently apply the adhesive side to the wound, ensuring full contact without stretching the dressing.
5. Smooth down the edges of the dressing to ensure secure adhesion to the periwound skin.
6. The dressing can remain in place for several days (up to 7 days, depending on exudate levels and wound condition) before requiring a change.
7. To remove, gently lift one corner and slowly peel the dressing away from the skin.
