SOLOSITE Gel Conformable Hydrogel Dressing is designed to keep the gel in intimate contact with the wound bed. It is ideal for packing into and around the sides of the wound. While wound gels alone tend to pool at the base of deeper wounds, leaving portions of the wound bed uncovered, SOLOSITE Gel Conformable maintains close contact of the wound surface and the gel.

Step 6
Secure the dressing in place by placing a secondary dressing of the following type over the wound area:
-A transparent film such as OPSITE or OPSITE FLEXIGRID, especially where the wound is necrotic (full of damaged tissue) or sloughy (full of wound fluid).
-A non-woven, non-sensitizing (non-allegerginic) dressing such as COVRSITE or retention tape such as HYPAFIX where there is little or no drainage.
-Gauze held in place with conforming bandage, a net bandage or a cohesive bandage such as Coban®, where there are skin tears and an adhesive secondary dressing is inappropriate
If you are unsure of which secondary dressing to use, consult a healthcare professional.
