If you experience any pain, speak to your healthcare provider. They may
recommend changing the settings on your device or prescribe pain relief
medication.
How often will the dressings be changed?
The dressings will usually be changed 2–3 times a week, in some cases it
may be more often. This will depend on your wound’s size, type, position
and drainage amount. Your healthcare provider will determine how often
your dressings needs to be changed.
All dressing changes must be performed by a trained healthcare provider.
Will the dressing changes hurt?
