*Note: infection should clear within two weeks, however it is important to continue use of Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care until healed nails have grown out completely.
- Visible dirt should be gently cleaned from the wound with warm water and a non-medicated cleanser. Pat dry.

- Spray Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care directly into the throat every 2 hours until the pain has subsided.
*Note: if you swallow the product during this process it will not harm you.
- Remove any surgical dressing the day following your surgery or as soon as possible there-after.
- Apply a single layer of non-medicated paraffin gauze over the stitches. Wet 3-5 layers of clean non-sterile woven gauze with 5 mL* of Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care and place this over the paraffin gauze.

*Each dressing of 3-5 layers of woven gauze requires 5 mL of product – this equates to 50 pumps (100 mL size bottle) or 10 pumps (450 mL size) per dressing. This ensures optimal wetting of the gauze for debridement and healing.Â
- In some cases, sharp or surgical debridement of visible dead tissue may be required before the first application of Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care, for optimal results. Please consult your doctor or a wound sister if you are unsure whether this is required.
- Wounds should be cleaned before the first dressing of Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care is applied. Do this by washing the wound with a sponge and warm water and a little bubble bath. Ensure that no cleanser remains on the wound after rinsing with clean water (do not wash with soap, salt water or any other disinfectant). Pat the wound dry with a clean towel.
- Thoroughly spray the affected area and allow it to dry for 1 minute. Please do not rub the solution into the skin.
- Spray 5 mL* of Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care onto 3-5 sheets of clean, non-sterile woven gauze until the gauze is wet but not drenched.
- Press the wet gauze directly onto the wound, ensuring contact with the entire wound bed. If required use forceps.
- Cover the wet gauze dressing with a crêpe bandage or breathable plaster (do not use waterproof dressings). Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 every day or alternative days.
- Clean the wound at least twice per week under running water for 2-3 minutes before applying a new dressing. Do not wash with soap, salt water or any other disinfectant.
If the area can be left open, spray Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care every 2-3 hours onto the wound and let it dry naturally. Patients should exercise regularly, to the extent that their condition allows, to encourage healing.

NOTES:
Why use gauze?
Woven gauze is an effective way to debride wounds and burns. The woven gauze fibres allow exudate, necrotic tissue and biofilm to adhere to the gauze — removing this from the wound with each dressing change. This effective debridement method optimises healing and radically reduces inflammation. Ensure at least 3 to 5 sheets of woven gauze are used and all the layers have been wet with Trifectiv® Plus before applying to the wound bed.
Paraffin gauze:
If, after removing the surgical gauze dressing, bleeding occurs, then a single layer of non-medicated paraffin gauze can be applied before applying the gauze dressing. ONLY use paraffin gauze if ALL necrotic material (dead tissue, dead biofilm, foreign bodies) has already been removed through wet-to-moist debridement as per the above dressing steps. This will minimise discomfort during dressing changes.
Lower leg wounds:
In the case of lower leg wounds, always apply a compression stocking over the bandage to control inflammation. This must be worn 24/7.
- In some cases, sharp debridement of visible dead tissue may be required before the first application of Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care. Please consult with your doctor or a wound sister if you are unsure whether this is required.
- Wounds should be cleaned before the first dressing of Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care is applied. Do this by washing the wound with a sponge and warm water and a little non-medicated bubble bath (do not wash with soap, salt water or any other disinfectant).

- Thoroughly spray the affected area and allow it to dry for 1 minute. Please do not rub the solution into the skin.
- Spray 5 mL* of Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care onto 3-5 sheets of clean, non-sterile woven gauze until the gauze is wet but not drenched.
- Press the wet gauze directly onto the wound, ensuring contact with the entire wound bed. For deeper wounds, ensure that the wet gauze layers are fully plugged into the wound so that direct contact with the entire wound surface is achieved (use forceps if required). Ensure that all gauze swabs are reachable and visible to avoid leaving swabs inside any cavities. For deep, narrow wounds you can syringe them with Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care before dressing.
- Cover the wet gauze dressing with a crêpe bandage or breathable plaster (do not use waterproof dressings). Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 every day or alternative days.
- Clean the wound at least twice per week under running water for 2-3 minutes before applying a new dressing. Do not wash with soap, salt water or any other disinfectant.
If the area can be left open, spray Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care every 2-3 hours onto the wound and let it dry naturally. Patients should exercise regularly, to the extent that their condition allows, to encourage blood flow and improve healing.

*Note: if the burn has just recently occurred repeat steps 2 and 3 a few times to fast-track the reduction in inflammation. - Spray 5 mL* of Trifectiv® Plus Wound & Burn Care onto 3-5 sheets of clean, non-sterile woven gauze until the gauze is wet but not drenched.
- Press the wet gauze directly onto the wound ensuring contact with the entire wound bed.
