How do you keep the AutoloGel in the wound bed when gravity is working to make it flow out of the wound?

Try to position the patient so the wound is facing upward. Use the N-terface dressing as a guide to keep the AutoloGel in the wound. It is preferable to express the AutoloGel directly into the wound from the applicator. If this is not practical because of limited patient mobility or other factors, AutoloGel could be expressed onto the Interface dressing. Once the AutoloGel has set up or become more firm, the N-terface dressing can be rotated and placed onto the wound ensuring that AutoloGel directly contacts cells in the wound bed. Using a double layer of N-terface maintains more of the fluid in the dressing rather than losing it by soaking through with a single layer.
