Follow standard protocol to cleanse wound; do not use saline or oil-based cleansing agents.

For heavily exudative wounds:
Remove the ACTICOAT* Dressing from the package and cut to size. Apply the dry ACTICOAT* Dressing to the wound, either side down, as the exudate will be sufficient to activate the dressing. Cover the ACTICOAT* Dressing with an appropriate secondary dressing.

For other wounds:
Remove the dressing from package and cut to shape. Moisten the dressing with sterile water (do not use saline). Allow the dressing to drain on an absorbent surface in a sterile field for at least 2 minutes. Apply the ACTICOAT* Dressing to the wound surface, either side down.
Cover the dressing with an appropriate secondary dressing.
If the dressing dries and adheres to the wound, moisten or soak the dressing prior to removal. Avoid forceful removal of the dressing and disruption of the healing wound.

For detailed product information, including indications for use, contraindications, precautions, and warnings, please consult the product’s Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to use.

Change the dressing depending on the amount of exudate and the condition of the wound, or every 3 days.

ACTICOAT* Dressings can be used under compression therapy. Regularly check dressing system and change if strikethrough occurs.
