Application Guide

Prepare the wound using standard methods to promote hemostasis and ensure it is free of debris and necrotic tissue.

Trim PHOENIX Wound Matrix® (PHOENIX) to size such that the edges match the edges of the wound bed.

Gently smooth PHOENIX to remove all air bubbles and ensure direct contact of matrix with entire wound bed.

Anchor PHOENIX with preferred method of fixation: staples, sutures, surgical glue, or reinforced adhesive skin closures (e.g., Steri-Strip^™).

Gently rinse PHOENIX and wound bed with sterile saline to facilitate full contact with the wound bed.

Apply an appropriate non-adherent dressing over PHOENIX to bolster it firmly in contact with the wound bed and to manage the wound environment.

Select an appropriate secondary dressing to maintain adherence, protect the wound, and manage the wound environment.

Apply additional wrapping and bandages.
