Troubleshooting
Dressing is not adhering properly.
Ensure the skin around the wound is clean, dry, and free of lotions or oils before applying the dressing. Apply gentle pressure to the edges of the dressing to help it adhere.
Dressing is causing skin irritation.
If irritation occurs, remove the dressing. Clean the area and consult a healthcare professional. Consider trying a different type of dressing.
Exudate is leaking from under the dressing.
The dressing may be too small or the wound may be producing too much exudate. Replace with a larger dressing or consult a healthcare professional.
