How do I know my wound is too moist?Updated 5 months ago

Remember that a moist wound and a moist PowerHeal® Bioelectric Bandage are good things. Clinical data shows that moist wounds heal up to 2-3x faster than dry wounds because healing cells and important growth factors can move more quickly in this moist environment.

But there is such a thing as too moist. You will know if your wound is too moist if the skin around it looks how your fingertips look after you have soaked in the bathtub too long or have been swimming for an extended period (i.e. it looks white and wrinkly). This is called maceration. If your wound is macerated, you can leave the bandage off for a short period of time until it loses that 'too moist', macerated look. Then simply rebandage it using the steps outlined under "how to apply PowerHeal® Bioelectric Bandage".
