Management of pressure ulcers (category 1–2) and other wounds with no-to-low exudate; use with a secondary dressing if exudative.

Contraindications

Do not use on infected or critically colonised wounds, cancerous wounds and fistula wounds that may reveal a deep abscess, or if there is a known sensitivity to the dressing.
