Indications

Chronic and acute full-thickness, partial-thickness, or shallow granulating exuding wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, donor sites, partial-thickness burns, tunnelling and fistulae wounds, wounds healing by secondary intention and wounds that are prone to bleeding (such as those that have been surgically or mechanically debrided)
