How to use Molnlycke Border Flex Dressing?

The wound pad should overlap the dry surrounding skin by at least 1-2cm in order to protect the surrounding skin from maceration and to affix the dressing securely.
Cleanse the wound in accordance to clinical practice. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly.
Remove the first release film and apply the adherent side to the wound.
Remove the remaining release liners and smooth down the border on the skin.
Do not stretch.
