Key Benefits
These sterile pressure dots help control minor bleeding and provide protection at puncture or incision sites.

Usage Guidelines
Ensure the application site is clean and dry. Remove the pressure dot from its sterile packaging and apply it directly over the puncture site with light pressure. Press gently to secure adhesion.
