-diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed aetiology) and pressure ulcers/sores (partial & full thickness);
-surgical wounds;
-traumatic wounds;
-wounds that are prone to bleeding, such as wounds that have been mechanically or surgically debrided;
-oncology wounds with exudate, such as fungoides-cutaneous tumors, fungating carcinoma, cutaneous metastasis, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and angiosarcoma;
-wounds where bacteria are a suspected cause of (or a factor in) chronicity /non-progression.

1. Before applying the dressing, cleanse the wound area with an appropriate wound cleanser.
2. AQUACEL dressing should overlap at least 1cm onto the skin surrounding the wound.
