Sizing: Measure the wound to choose the appropriate dressing size, allowing for a 3 cm overlap onto intact skin around the entire wound.
-
Warming: Warm the dressing between your hands.
-
Peeling: Remove the top white release paper, taking care to minimize finger contact with the adhesive surface.
-
Alignment: Hold the adhesive side of the dressing over the wound and align the dressing with the center of the wound.
-
Application: Gently apply the center part of the dressing. Remove the bottom white release paper while rolling the dressing into place, but do not stretch it.
-
Securing: Repeat the process on the other side and remove the clear release paper. Gently mold the dressing into place with your hands for 30–60 seconds.
Removal Instructions
