Applying FILSUVEZ
FILSUVEZ puts patients in control of their wound care with at-home application that integrates into existing EB wound care routines1
No clinic visits or healthcare providers are needed for routine application1
FILSUVEZ is applied in 3 steps1
STEP 1
- Clean all wounds
- Using clean or gloved hands, open a new, single-use tube of FILSUVEZ
- Immediately after opening, apply 1 mm of FILSUVEZ evenly to each nonadhesive wound dressing, or directly to the wound. Once the tube has been opened and applied, discard the tube and any remaining gel
STEP 2
- Spread the 1 mm layer of FILSUVEZ across the entire wound surface to about the thickness of a credit card
- If applying to a dressing, spread FILSUVEZ across the entire dressing
STEP 3
- Cover all wounds with sterile, nonadhesive wound dressings
- Reapply FILSUVEZ with each dressing change until all wounds are fully healed
- The tube of FILSUVEZ should only be used once
