Do not administer the product to patients with known family history of auto-immune diseases, history of anaphylactoid reactions or known hypersensitivity to collagen, both topical and injectable, or in subjects undergoing desensitization therapy to meat products.

Use the product immediately after opening the primary package. After opening the blister pack, if only part of the pad is used, do not re-use the remaining portions for subsequent applications. Do not use if the bed of the lesion shows a local infection.
In this case before using BIOPAD® perform a systemic or topical antibiotic treatment.
Treat previously the lesion with a disinfectant or a sterile physiological saline; cleanse the lesion with a dry gauze, removing if necessary, the eventual purulent material and/or necrotic tissues from the bed and the edges of the lesion.
Apply the pad on the lesion with a soft pressure; use one or more pads, to cover the whole lesion.
Fix the pad to the lesion and keep it in place by means of a sterile gauze or a non-occlusive bandage (even elastic) or using a plaster.
When used as haemostat and if the application is performed without being sure to have worked in aseptic conditions, after haemostasis the pad must be removed.
When used to treat ulcers, when the product is adhered to the bed of the lesion, do not remove nor detach it to control the lesion itself.
The product is absorbed in the time.
The lesion must be controlled every 2-3 days (every 24 hours in case of pressure sore) If, at the control, the product has been absorbed, place another pad on the bed of the lesion without removing eventual fragments still adherent to the lesion itself.
