Directions: CLEANSE. Gently clean in and around the area with warm water and mild soap, using CURAD sterile Gauze Pads. Apply gentle pressure over the wound to stop bleeding. If redness or swelling occurs, consult a physician. APPLY. Apply medication (if required) to a soft, absorbent non-stick pad and cover the wound to protect it and absorb fluids. SECURE. If using a non-stick pad, tape firmly in place using a CURAD tape. Change daily or when pad becomes wet.
