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.
- The result: a sterile, soft, absorbent, and conformable topical wound dressing.
- In the presence of wound fluid, FIBRACOL Plus Dressing helps maintain a physiologically moist microenvironment at the wound surface. This environment supports granulation tissue formation, epithelialization, and rapid wound healing.
- The unique combination of collagen and alginate is designed to address a wide range of indicated wound types and exudate levels.
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 in 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
