• Step 1: Cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures. • Step 2: Choose a dressing which is slightly larger than the wound and place it in intimate contact with the wound base, ensuring the entire surface is covered. • Step 3: Apply using an appropriate dressing technique. • Step 4: Cover with an appropriate retention dressing. Wound exudate will evaporate from the gel surface; the secondary dressing should not hinder this evaporative process where exudate is heavy. • Step 5: Generally dressings should be changed daily in heavily draining wounds, Reducing to twice weekly (or weekly) as healing proceeds. • Step 6: To remove Pharma-Algi®, use tweezers, forceps or a gloved hand to gently lift the dressing away – The dressing may adhere if used on a very lightly exuding wound. Removal of the dressing is facilitated by saturating the wound with saline.
