Frequency of change

Advazorb Sacral can be left in place for up to 7 days but should be changed immediately if strikethrough is apparent or when dressing reaches capacity. If exudate is visible around the edges of the dressing this is a clear indication that a dressing change is required. Clinical observation is necessary to determine required frequency of change.

For all exuding wounds on the sacral area, for example pressure ulcers
