Mode of Use/Application
Following wound cleansing, apply a thin coat of AmeriGel® to the wound and the surrounding skin, extending approximately 1/2 inch beyond the wound.
Apply a thin layer to cover the wound bed and overlap onto the periwound skin. Cover with a moist saline gauze or a secondary dressing of choice.
Moisten a gauze pad (2x2, 4x4, etc.) with saline. The gauze should be similar in dampness to a washcloth that you would wash your face with, not dripping wet, but not wrung dry. Following the application of AmeriGel®, place the dampened gauze over the
wound. Next, place a dry piece of gauze on top of the damp one. This will provide a moist environment for the wound and additional gauze to absorb any drainage. Secure the gauze pads in place with tape or roll gauze.
Removal & Change Frequency
Change the dressing twice a day for the first week and once a day thereafter. If the gauze sticks to the wound, soak it with saline until it falls off without pulling on the wound.
Additional Recommended Dressings
Cover with a moist saline gauze or a secondary dressing of choice.
