Starting VYJUVEK

Treatment with VYJUVEK

VYJUVEK is applied topically once weekly to promote wound healing

  • Only a healthcare professional can prescribe and apply VYJUVEK gel. There are special storage and preparation requirements with VYJUVEK
  • VYJUVEK can be administered by a healthcare professional at a healthcare professional setting (for example, a clinic) or home setting, depending on your doctor’s instructions, your insurance plan coverage, and your preference
  • VYJUVEK can be administered in the course of routine bandage changes at home
  • To begin administration, the wound must be unwrapped
  • VYJUVEK gel is then applied in small droplets that are evenly spaced (1 cm by 1 cm apart) on the selected wound to form a thin film after a water-resistant dressing is applied. Other wounds are then treated until the maximum weekly dose is reached. Wounds are covered by a water-resistant dressing. Standard dressings are then applied on top
  • Routine dressing changes can resume after approximately 24 hours
    • Avoid touching the treated wounds and dressings for the first 24 hours after application. In case accidental contact happens, flush the affected area with clean water for at least 15 minutes
    • Wash hands and wear protective gloves when changing wound dressings. Disinfect bandages from first dressing change and dispose of disinfected bandages in a separate sealed plastic bag in household waste. Dispose of subsequent used dressings in a sealed plastic bag in household waste

Choosing wound(s) to treat

Creating a VYJUVEK treatment plan

Because of the maximum weekly dose, it may not be possible to apply VYJUVEK gel to all wounds during your appointment—you and your doctor can work together to create a prioritized wound treatment plan.

Creating a VYJUVEK™ treatment plan
It is important to continue weekly treatment of each treated wound(s) until it is fully healed. Once completely healed, other wound(s) can be treated with VYJUVEK.
