When applied to a wound surface, the matrix is naturally incorporated into the wound over time.

Clinical Application Steps
These recommendations are designed to serve only as a general guideline. They are not intended to supersede institutional protocols or professional clinical judgment concerning patient care.
Initial Application
- Always handle OCM™ using aseptic techniques. Only inner package content is sterile.
- Prior to application of OCM™, prepare the wound bed using standard methods to ensure wound is free of debris and necrotic tissue. If necessary, surgically debride the wound to ensure the wound edges contain viable tissue.
- Snap open the tip of the OCM™ package.
- Slowly squeeze to apply either directly to the wound bed in stripes, or onto a suitable applicator (e.g. a tongue depressor). Distribute product evenly across the wound bed so that it is uniformly applied and fills the wound bed. Cover the periwound to ensure complete coverage.
- After application, cover with an appropriate dressing to maintain OCM™ adherence and protect the wound area. The optimum dressing is determined by wound location, size, depth, and volume of exudate.
Follow-up Application
- Duration of treatment and reapplication frequency is determined by the physician and will depend on the condition of the patient as well as the level of wound exudate.
- Reapply when OCM™ has been naturally incorporated into the wound bed or as directed by a wound care professional.
- Remove the dressing from the wound bed gently.
- Cleanse the wound area and prepare the wound bed prior to application.
- Distribute product evenly across the wound bed to fill the wound and cover the periwound to ensure complete coverage.
- Cover with an appropriate dressing to maintain OCM™ adherence and protect the wound area.
- Change the dressing based on physician assessment of patient's individual needs and as consistent with manufacturer's instructions to maintain a moist, clean wound area.
