Applying advanced dressings requires a thorough understanding of the wound's characteristics and the specific dressing's properties. Here are general steps:
1. Clean the wound with a saline solution to remove debris and bacteria. 2. Choose the appropriate dressing based on the wound assessment. 3. Apply the dressing according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it covers the wound adequately. 4. Secure the dressing with medical tape or a secondary bandage if necessary.
