Hello,
Regranex should be as a continuous thin layer to the entire ulcerated area(s) once daily using a clean application aid.
The site of application should then be covered by a moist saline gauze dressing that maintains a moist wound-healing environment.
The amount of Regranex Gel to be applied should be recalculated by the physician or wound caregiver at weekly or biweekly intervals depending on the rate of change in ulcer area.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
