Apply (white silicone face down) allowing a minimum of a 2cm border overlap around a wound. Do not cut Advazorb Sacral.

Frequency of change

For wound care, Advazorb Sacral 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 pad. 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 peel back 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 no longer fully adherent, is dislodged, rolled at the edges, wrinkled, creased or damaged, soiled, saturated or compromised in some other way.

As a wound dressing, Advazorb Sacral is for all exuding wounds on the sacral area e.g. pressure ulcers. Advazorb Sacral can be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to prevent skin damage, e.g. pressure ulcers, and to reduce postoperative blistering.
