How Exudate Progress Monitor works
Leaving wounds undisturbed can help healing. The Exudate Progress Monitor gives you the confidence to leave the dressing in place for longer 3 . Please see the user guide for additional usage and application guidance.

The Exudate Progress Monitor is a grid of equidistant dots.

e.g. 4×4 cm
As exudate spreads you can record a dot count that reflects exudate volume in the dressing.

e.g. 8×10 cm
You can then refer to the recorded dot count to help monitor exudate trends.

e.g. 10 x 14cm
Consider dressing change when exudate is approaching the borders of the dressing.*

* Wound inspection and dressing change frequencies are driven by clinical decision and should be at the discretion of the treating clinician
