3.00 DIRECTIONS FOR USE

3.01 Cleansing

Cleanse the wound or the affected area daily with warm water or a saline solution only, to prevent cell irritation.

3.02 Application

Apply a thick layer of GSGF 904 to the wound two or three times a day, as needed. It is also recommended to extend the application around the edge of the affected area, so as to prevent proud flesh.

3.03 Caution

When skin has been severely damaged with extensive loss of cutaneous tissues - where possible - apply GSGF 904 two or three times a day using a non-adhesive dressing and a bandage.
Bandaging should be kept on for about 24 hours to encourage the healing process. Afterwards, leave the surface uncovered as the GSGF 904 provides a porous protective barrier.
It is not advisable, however, to maintain bandaging for longer as it might increase the local temperature and encourage suppurative or runny wounds for lack of air and, in certain cases, proud flesh or skin proliferation.

3.04 Important

The use of an aggressive disinfectant which might irritate, alter or damage the quality of the available cells is however not recommended.
It is inadvisable to use disinfectants or antiseptics (even mild solutions) for cleansing a wound as they will cause irritation, thus delaying, altering or stopping the healing process.
The local application of antibiotic preparations, sprays and powders is also to be avoided as they will cause infection by irritating or destroying normal bacterial flora (*).
