Because maggots are living things, they must have an oxygen supply, so they cannot be covered with
hydrogels or other occlusive dressings. Maggots are applied to an open wound, but should not be

the wound irrigated with NS.

exudate, urine, stool, chemicals, and adhesive stripping. Sealants are applied with wipes, wands, or
sprays.
