How to Apply ColActive Collagen dressing

• Debride and irrigate the wound bed with an appropriate wound cleanser or distilled water before application.
• Cut the dressing to fit the exact wound size. For heavily exudating wounds, apply the dressing directly to the wound bed.
• For dry wounds with very little exudate, moisten the wound bed with distilled water to begin the gelling process.
• Cover the ColActive Plus with an appropriate secondary dressing. Change dressings daily or as good nursing practice dictates.

Care and Removal:

• Remove the secondary dressing with care.
• Gently remove ColActive Plus ensuring that the dressing removal does not damage any newly formed tissues.
• Use an appropriate wound cleanser or distilled water to cleanse the wound site prior to applying a new ColActive Plus dressing, as per application instructions.
