Usage Guidelines

Clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin thoroughly before application. Remove the bandage from its sterile package and place the absorbent pad directly over the wound. Smooth down the fabric adhesive to ensure secure placement. Replace as needed or when the bandage becomes wet, soiled, or loose. Do not reuse.
