![Fluid Accumulation POD 1-5](../images/imbwm_chronic_post_11.jpg)
In INTEGRA Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix sheets, clear or amber fluid
may accumulate under the matrix between INTEGRA Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix and the wound bed. Although
fluid drainage is a normal part of the healing process,
fluid accumulation can lead to infection and /or the formation
of granulation tissue and should therefore be evacuated.
Intervention:
Evacuate by needle aspiration, rolling
or wicking with a cotton tip applicator or gauze pad.
