This shows a bulky dressing applied on top of the non-adherent dressing to absorb the bleeding that will occur over the next hour or two after debridement. The wound should be gently cleansed once or twice daily with dilute Hibiclens (one part Hibiclens and three parts water), and then the Silvadene or Polysporin ointment can be applied followed by the non-adherent dressing and a bulk dressing if necessary.
