Their waterproof seal makes them particularly effective for patients who need wound protection during daily hygiene routines such as bathing or showering.
Usage Guidelines
Clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin before applying. Remove the bandage from its sterile packaging and place the pad directly over the wound site. Smooth the adhesive edges to ensure a complete waterproof seal. Replace the bandage as needed or according to healthcare provider instructions. Do not reuse or attempt to re sterilize.
