Application

Instructions for application:

  • Orange (copper ion containing) side faces down to contact the wound surface.
  • Cover the entire wound including 3cm of the peri wound area.
  • MedCu dressing can be cut, shaped, and packed to fit the wound shape.
  • Secure the dressing if required with film, bandages, or compression.
  • No need to wet the dressing with exudating wounds. In dry wounds, can wet with sterile saline to aid adhesion if required.

Removal

If not easily removed, moisten with sterile saline before removal.

  • Light pressure will stop oozing.
  • Apply new MedCu dressing – MedCu can be used continually until wound closure.

Please note: For heavy exudate wounds prone to adherence:

  1. Apply a silicone gauze underneath MedCu dressing.
  2. Apply super absorbent dressing over top of  MedCu dressing.
