How to use

Before application, clean and dry the skin area to ensure optimal adhesion. Cut or tear an appropriate length of tape, position it over the dressing or device and press firmly to secure edges. Smooth the tape to remove creases and ensure skin contact. Replace the tape and dressing according to clinical needs or when adhesion weakens; avoid repeated application to the same skin area without allowing skin to recover.

Recommendations

For patients with very fragile or highly sensitive skin, test the tape on a small area first and consider using a skin barrier film or dressing under the tape. Monitor the skin under and around the tape periodically for signs of irritation, and change fixation materials promptly if redness or discomfort occurs.
