How To Use FIBRACOL Dressing?
Dressing Preparation
- Debride necrotic tissue before applying (if necessary)
- Treat infection as per your facility protocol (if necessary)
- Hydrate with saline for wounds with low or no exudate
Application Instructions
- Cut Fibrocol plus dressing to the size of the wound with scissors.
- Apply directly to the wound, covering the entire bed. This dressing forms a gel on contact with exudate or through saline hydration.
- Pack deep wounds loosely.
- For minimally exudating wounds, apply to a moistened wound bed to initiate gel-forming process.
- Cover with appropriate secondary dressing to maintain a moist wound healing environment.
Precautions
- FIBRACOL Plus Dressing may be used when visible signs of infection are present in the wound area only when proper medical treatment addresses the underlying cause.
- FIBRACOL Plus Dressing may be used under compression therapy with healthcare professional supervision.

Adverse Reactions
