	Step 1: Wash hands before and after treating the wound. Gently clean the wound and the surrounding skin. Clean and dry the skin surrounding the wound and clip any excess hair close to the wound.
	Step 2: Open the pouch by peeling apart the flaps on the pouch paper. Anchor the adhesive side of the ALLEVYN LIFE dressing to the skin. Smooth the dressing over the wound ensuring there are no creases.
	Step 3: Remove the remaining backing sheet and smooth the dressing over the remainder of the wound without stretching the dressing. The pad area only of the dressing must be adhered across the entire surface of the wound.
