• Do not use on patients with a known allergy to alginates.
• Do not use on dry/low exudating wounds, as the absorption capacity may cause sticking to the wound or cause the wound to dry out and become painful.
• Do not use on Eyes, mucous membranes or tendons, due to the risk of dehydration.
• It is not intended to be used as a surgical sponge or to achieve haemostasis in heavily bleeding wounds.
• Do not use on infected wounds unless under medical supervision.

• For single use only. Reuse may cause cross contamination.
• Dispose as a contaminated product.
• Make sure the skin is clean, dry and free from soap residue and lotion to ensure good adhesion.
• Do not stretch the dressing during application as tension can cause skin trauma.
• If the dressing is not easily removed, moisten it with saline, and then remove.

Generally dressings should be changed daily in heavily exuding wounds, reducing to twice weekly (or weekly) as healing proceeds.
