The waterproof nature of the tape makes it suitable for long-term wear, even in situations where the patient will be exposed to water.
Usage Guidelines
Ensure that the skin is clean and dry before applying the tape. Cut the required length of tape and apply it firmly over the dressing or medical device, ensuring the edges are well-secured to prevent leakage. Use the tape to hold dressings or devices in place, making sure not to stretch the tape too tightly to avoid restricting circulation. After use, remove the tape gently to minimize discomfort, and dispose of the tape in accordance with medical waste disposal guidelines.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the tape in a cool, dry place to ensure its adhesive properties remain intact. When applying, avoid stretching the tape excessively to ensure the adhesive works as intended. Always check the area of application for proper adhesion and replace the tape as necessary to maintain secure coverage. After removal, if any adhesive residue remains on the skin, use a skin-safe adhesive remover or wipe to clean the area.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This product is intended for single-use in medical settings. The tape should not be reused or reprocessed. Ensure the tape is applied to intact skin and that it adheres securely without causing discomfort or restricting blood flow.
