Mode of Action: FACILITATOR® is a polymeric gel which, upon drying over the wound, forms an adhesive barrier.Directions For Use
Instructions for Use: Apply FACILITATOR® as thinly as possible as needed or a minimum of every 3 days. Proper preparation of the wound site is critical for the successful use of FACILITATOR®. The wound should be gently cleansed with water or an antiseptic, e.g. povidone, then rinsed thoroughly. Remove any accumulating blood or moisture from the wound using sterile gauze. Do not use other topical ointments or salves as they may interfere with the formation of the FACILITATOR® Liquid Bandage. Avoid contaminating the tube by holding the tip of the tube slightly above the wound. Gently apply FACILITATOR® until the wound is completely covered by a very thin film, allowing it to extend slightly beyond the wound edges. Allow the thin film of FACILITATOR® to dry completely to assure secure coverage of the wound.Removal of FACILITATOR®: FACILITATOR® can be removed from skin or other surfaces with water.
