1- Discoloration and bulging of the dressing indicate it should be changed
2- Wounds showing clinical signs of infection (temperature, pus, inflammatory signs) should be treated
under medical control before resume using of the dressing
The dressing change interval is determined by the treating physician based on wound condition, degree of exudate and possible primary dressing, after 5-7 days at the latest.
The dressing must be changed if there is severe blistering extending beyond the wound surface.
When Pharmacoll® dressing comes into contact with wound exudates, the hydrocolloid swells and forms a gel that
covers the wound and maintains moisture. This gel continues absorbing the wound fluid and minimizes adherence
to the wound. When the dressing is changed, the wound stays protected by a film of gel.
