  • Apply liberally to the wound bed (surface or cavity)
  • Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing.

Initially you may experience high levels of exudate, this is perfectly normal and will decrease over time, therefore your secondary dressing of choice may initially need to be a superabsorbent dressing, we recommend Eclypse.
