-
No Additional Taping Required: Simplifies application and saves time.

Directions for Use
-
Cleanse the wound with a sterile saline solution and gently pat dry the surrounding skin.
-
Select the appropriate size of DuoDERM® CGF® Border Dressing to ensure coverage of at least 1 inch beyond the wound edge.
-
Remove the backing from the adhesive side of the dressing, being careful not to touch the wound contact surface.
-
Apply the dressing over the wound, smoothing outward to ensure good adhesion and eliminate air pockets.
-
Change the dressing as needed, typically every 3-7 days or when exudate approaches the dressing edge.
Dosage & Frequency
- Dressing should be changed when it becomes saturated with exudate or as directed by a healthcare professional.
-
Typical wear time is 3-7 days depending on the amount of wound drainage and condition of surrounding skin.
- If signs of infection occur, reassess the wound and dressing choice with a healthcare provider.
CDC Guidelines Reference
- The CDC recommends using sterile dressings on acute wounds and surgically cleaned chronic wounds.
- Dressings should support a moist wound environment and be changed when saturated or per manufacturer guidelines.

Potential Side Effects
