Cleanse the wound according to wound care protocols. Select an appropriate size foam dressing that covers the wound and extends onto the surrounding skin by at least 2 cm. Remove the dressing from its packaging and apply it to the wound, ensuring it adheres to the surrounding skin. If the dressing has an adhesive border, press down gently to secure it in place. Change the dressing as needed, based on the level of exudate and clinical judgment.
