The impregnated dressing is applied in a single layer directly on the wound, after removal of protective sheets. The compress can be cut using a sterile instrument to match the dimensions of the wound. A sterile compress (gauze or nonwoven) is applied on the dressing which protects the favorable environment to healing produced by the ointment.
