Maintenance Tips 

• Single-use sterile dressing only — do not reuse or re-sterilize after application.
• Apply to clean, dry skin; ensure surrounding skin is fully dry for proper adhesion and to prevent edge lift.
• Do not stretch during application, as this can cause skin tension and reduce fixation quality.
• Avoid creams, ointments, or moisturizers on surrounding skin, as they can weaken adhesion.
• Change dressing before full saturation, or when leakage or strike-through is observed.
• Gently remove by lifting an edge and peeling slowly in hair-growth direction to minimize skin trauma.
• Do not use on heavily exuding wounds; intended for low to moderate exudate surgical or traumatic wounds.
• Inspect regularly for infection signs (redness, heat, swelling, fever) and replace or seek clinical advice if needed.
• Store in a clean, dry environment and keep sterile packaging intact until use.
