4. Kendall AMD antimicrobial foam dressings should be applied with the white side touching the dressing site or with the topsheet facing up.
5. Place Kendall AMD antimicrobial foam dressing onto the wound surface and hold in place by covering with adhesive tape or an appropriate secondary dressing.
