Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound according to clinical protocol before use. Remove the strip from the sterile bottle using aseptic technique and cut to the desired length. Gently place the strip into the wound cavity without overpacking. Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing to secure in place. Replace as directed by the treating clinician or facility policy. Do not reuse or resterilize.
