Removing 365 Transparent Island Dressings
1. To remove Transparent Island Dressings from the wound, gently peel and lift one corner of the dressing from the skin.

3. Care should be taken to avoid skin damage with repeated applications, or on patients with fragile skin.
4. Clean the wound in order to remove any remaining exudate before wound assessment or the application of new dressings.
