Mode of Use/Application

Initially remove 3/4 of the backing film along the length of the dressing minimizing finger contact with the central pad and the adhesive surface. Place at one side of the wound/incision line. Gently roll the dressing over the wound/incision line and mold into place.
Remove the remaining 1/4 backing film and gently mold the dressing in place with hand for a secure adhesion. Do not stretch. The translucent hydrocolloid backing allows the clinician to monitor the central Hydrofiber pad and assess when the dressing needs to be changed. The dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days subject to regular clinical assessment.

Removal & Change Frequency

To remove the dressing, press down on the skin with one hand and carefully lift an edge of the dressing with other hand. Stretch the dressing to break the adhesive seal and remove.
