Colonization of chronic wounds is common and is not a contraindication to the use of the dressing. The dressing may be used on infected wounds under medical supervision together with appropriate therapy and frequent monitoring of the wound. Should you observe irritation (reddening, inflammation), maceration (whitening of the skin) or hypergranulation (excess tissue formation), consult a health care professional. The control of blood glucose, as well as appropriate supportive measures, should be provided to patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
