How to Use

Start by cleaning and drying the skin around the wound area. Cut or tear a piece of tape to the desired length—the perforated design makes tearing easy. Apply the tape gently over the dressing, ensuring it adheres well to the skin without stretching. To remove, slowly peel the tape back in the direction of hair growth to minimize discomfort. For best results, avoid applying over oily, moist, or hairy skin unless properly prepped.
