Carboflex Odor Control Dressing Indications

– Used to manage Acute and Chronic Wounds

– Primary dressing for shallow wounds

– Secondary dressing over wound fillers for deeper wounds

– Used on infected malodorous wounds (Under medical supervision)

Contraindications:

Not for use with patients sensitive to the dressing or its components

Application:

Debride the wound and remove necrotic tissue. Cleanse the wound site and dry the surrounding skin. Choose a dressing larger than the wound area by at least 3cm. Place the dressing directly over shallow wounds. For deep wounds, lay Carboflex over wound filler or gel as a secondary dressing.

Removal:

Change the dressing when exudate reaches the top layer, or when odor is no longer being absorbed. With non-infected/malodorous wounds, dressing may be left for up to 3 days. Carefully remove the dressing from the corner.
