Apply directly to the heel, pink side up and secure in place with tape, appropriate bandage or secondary dressing.

Frequency of change

For wound care, Advazorb Heel can be left in place for up to 7 days but should be changed if exudate reaches 0.5cm from the edge of the dressing. Clinical observation is necessary to determine required frequency of change. For prophylactic therapy to prevent skin damage, inspect the skin regularly in line with local protocol and patient risk status. Carefully remove the dressing to allow assessment of skin and any bony prominence covered. Replace the dressing following assessment ensuring therapy is adjusted to take into account any changes. The dressing change interval may be several days or earlier if it is dislodged, rolled at the edges, wrinkled, creased or damaged, soiled, saturated or compromised in some other way.

Advazorb Heel can be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to prevent skin damage, e.g. pressure ulcers, and to reduce postoperative blistering
