{"HowProductWorksDescription":"Mepilex XT can be used by lay persons under the supervision of health care professionals.
1. Cleanse the wound in accordance with clinical practice.
2. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly.
3. Select an appropriate dressing size. The dressing should cover the dry surrounding skin by at least 1–2 cm for small sizes (sizes up to 12.5×12.5 cm) and 3–5 cm for large sizes. If required, the dressing may be cut to suit various wound shapes and locations.
4. Remove the first release film and apply the adherent side to the wound.
5. Remove the remaining release film and smooth down the dressing on the skin.
Do not stretch the dressing.
6. When necessary, fixate the dressing with a bandage or other fixation.
The dressing change interval may be several days. Change the dressing before it is fully saturated, at signs of leakage, or as indicated by clinical practice.
Mepilex XT can be used under compression bandaging and in combination with gels.
Disposal should be handled according to local environmental procedures.","Warnings":"The polyurethane foam used in the product may change colour to more yellow when it is exposed to light, air and/or heat. The colour change has no influence on product properties when used before expiry date.
