Step 8

The dressing change frequency depends on exudate levels and the overall condition of the wound and surrounding skin. Should the clinical condition allow, the dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days.

For easy removal, it is recommended to remove the dressing by pulling and stretching the film of the dressing parallel to the skin. Should the dressing adhere to the wound, moisten the dressing to assist removal and to avoid disruption of the healing wound.
