Tips

Change wound dressings in a closed room with low air circulation to prevent contamination of the cream or wound. Cut dressing to the correct size and apply cream to gauze with a sterile instrument. Use a sterile or disposable instrument each time. Use enough cream to cover the entire wound in a 1/16" thickness. The cream may turn a brown color upon application to a fresh wound.
