indications

It can be used as temporary covering in injuries, such as:

aDVANTAGES

The dressing keeps the stream bed of the humid wound and allows selective permeability.

aPPLICATION WAY

The injury will have to be clean.
1.Fresh Frog's Skin conserved in antibiotics: to apply it directly on the lesion. 
2. Dehydrated Frog's Skin: before the use will have to be hydrated with physiological saline solution (0,9%), in way that reacquires its normal texture.

dressing CHANGE

- in average to each one or two days, as the amount of exsudate.
- in superficial injuries it could be left to adhere to the stream bed of the wound and be kept until its cicatrization and spontaneous ungluing of the dressing.
