How does FIBRACOL Plus Collagen Wound Dressing Work?

• Its unique combination of natural biopolymers combines the structural support of collagen and the gel-forming properties of alginates.

FIBRACOL Plus Instructions For Use

Wound Preparation before applying Fiobracol Wound Dressing

• Debride necrotic tissue before applying (if necessary)
• Treat infection as per your facility protocol (if necessary)
• Hydrate with saline for wounds with low or no exudate

How to apply Fibracol Plus Dressing?

• Cut Fibrocol plus dressing to the size of the wound with scissors.
• Apply directly to the wound, covering the entire bed. This dressing forms a gel on contact with exudate or through saline hydration.
• Pack deep wounds loosely.
• For minimally exudating wounds, apply to a moistened wound bed to initiate the gel-forming process.
• Cover with appropriate secondary dressing to maintain a moist wound healing environment.

How to remove Fibracol Dressing?

• After gently removing the secondary dressing, lift any FIBRACOL Plus Dressing that has not formed a gel and discard.
• Using normal saline, gently irrigate the wound to remove any residual gel.

Precautions

• FIBRACOL Plus Dressing may be used when visible signs of infection are present in the wound area only when proper medical treatment addresses the underlying cause.
• FIBRACOL Plus Dressing may be used under compression therapy with healthcare professional supervision.

Contraindications

Adverse Reactions

• FIBRACOL Plus should not be used on patients with known sensitivities to collagen or alginates. Discontinue use if signs of sensitivity appear.
