FIBRACOL™ Plus Collagen Wound Dressing with Alginate

Applications

Directions for Use

• Debride when necessary and irrigate the wound site with normal saline solution.
• Remove excess solution from surrounding skin.
• For heavily exuding wounds, apply to wound bed directly. For wounds with minimal exudate, apply to moistened wound bed; this will initiate the gel forming process.
• Pack deep wounds loosely. The dressing can be cut to size with sterile scissors. The amount of FIBRACOL™ Plus Dressing to be used depends on the size of the wound and the amount of exudate.
• FIBRACOL™ Plus Dressing may be covered with either a non-occlusive secondary dressing and fixed to the skin with a non-irritating tape or a semi-occlusive dressing (e.g TIELLE™ Hydropolymer Adhesive Dressing or TIELLE™ Plus Hydropolymer Adhesive Dressing).
• Reapply FIBRACOL™ Plus Dressing when the secondary dressing has reached its absorbent capacity or whenever good wound care practice dictates that the dressing should be changed. A heavily exuding wound may require daily or twice daily dressing changes. More moderately exuding wounds will require less frequent changes (every 2 to 4 days or as directed by a healthcare professional). Following the initial application, irrigate the wound with saline solution. Reapply FIBRACOL™ Plus Dressing as previously instructed.

FIBRACOL™ Plus Dressing may be used under compression therapy with healthcare professional supervision.

FIBRACOL Dressing can be cut to size.

Dressing Removal
After gently removing the secondary dressing, lift any FIBRACOL^TM Plus Dressing that has not formed a gel and discard. Using normal saline, gently irrigate the wound to remove any residual gel.
