Application
- Remove the PharmaCare Hydrocolloid Dressing from the packaging
- Make sure the wound area is clean and dry before applying the dressing
- The Hydrocolloid dressing should be 2cm bigger than the wound area for optimal results
- Keep weight off the dressing for 20 minutes to ensure good adhesion to the skin – it is best to leave for a minimum of 48 to 72 hours
- If the dressing becomes white and swollen at any point, it indicates that the dressing should be changed
- The dressing should be changed if there are any signs of leakage
- Always moisten the wound area to allow for smooth removal
