With scissors!: A good way to get a dressing to fit a wound is to gently press the paper side of the dressing to the wound. This will imprint the dimensions of the wound on the dressing. Cut it so that there is at least 2 cm from all edges of the wound in order to ensure adequate coverage, adequate adhesion, and minimal wast.
