9. Silverlon® Negative Pressure Dressings Professional Guidelines For Use
Moisten dressing with sterile or clean water. Saline may be used for irrigation, but should be avoided as the primary wetting agent.
Apply either side of dressing in direct contact with wound bed and walls, and overlap wound edges onto healthy skin.
Cover Silverlon® NPD with negative pressure foam or fill media ( if using Versatile 1) and drape per manufacturer’s instructions.
Change Silverlon® NPD when you change foam or fill media.
Silverlon® NPD may be used for up to 7 days.
