How to use
Application
Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application. After putting on the gloves, clean the wound and periwound area with a gentle stream of water or saline. Do not dry the wound surface. Remove the soaked gauze from both sides of the single-dose paste or open the package (envelope or aluminum tube). Conform the dressing to the wound surface. Completely cover the wound with an appropriate secondary dressing. Apply a compression bandage, where indicated.
Exchange
IODOSORB must be changed when it is saturated with exudate and has released all the iodine. This is indicated by the loss of color, usually two or three times a week. If the wound is very exuding, it may be necessary to change the dressing every day. If necessary, soak the residues for a few minutes before removing them. Gently remove IODOSORB using a stream of water or saline solution. Before reapplying IODOSORB again, gently absorb any excess fluid, leaving the wound surface slightly moist.

Warnings
