Application instructions
Prepare the wound
1. Clean the wound carefully and according to instructions.
Using the wound dressing
2. To apply the dressing, open the sterile packaging and remove the dressing. Remove the protective film on both sides. The size of the dressing depends on the wound area and should overlap the wound by 2 - 3 cm. If necessary, the dressing can be cut with sterile scissors.
3. Place the dressing on the wound and press it into place. Either side of the dressing can be used on both sides. If necessary, the dressing should be fixed with a suitable secondary dressing.
Dressing changes
4. The intervals at which the epicite RESCUE dressing must be changed are determined by the attending physician depending on the condition of the wound.
5. When changing the dressing, remove the secondary dressing and carefully lift the dressing on one side and then carefully peel it off the wound. If the dressing has dried, moisten it sufficiently with sterile saline solution before removing it. Dispose of the removed dressing according to the instructions.
6. Clean the wound before applying another dressing.
