site Preparation
• Debride when necessary and irrigate the wound site in accordance with standard protocols
• Remove excess solution from surrounding skin
Exuding Wounds
1. KerraCel should overlap 1cm / 0.39" onto the skin surrounding the wound.
2. When using KerraCel ribbon in deep cavity wounds, leave at least 2.5cm / 1" outside the wound for easy retrieval. Only pack deep wounds up to 80%, as KerraCel will expand to fill the wound spaces on contact with wound fluid.
3. Apply the dressing to the wound and cover with an appropriate secondary dressing.
4. KerraCel can be left in place for up to 7 days where clinically indicated (except for burns where it can be left inplace for up to 14 days).
dry Wounds
1. Place the KerraCel on the wound and wet with sterile water or saline over the wound area only.
2. Cover the dressing with a moisture retentive dressing to avoid drying out of the dressing and subsequent dressing adherence to the wound.
