Troubleshooting
Plaster not adhering well
Ensure the skin around the burn is clean and completely dry before application. Avoid applying lotions or creams to the area prior to using the plaster. Press down gently but firmly on the adhesive border.
Skin irritation under the plaster
If irritation occurs, remove the plaster immediately. Cleanse the area gently. These plasters are hypoallergenic, but individual sensitivities can occur. Discontinue use if irritation persists.
Gel appears to be drying out
Ensure the plaster packaging was sealed and the plaster was not exposed to air before application. If the gel shows signs of drying significantly, it may be less effective. Replace with a new plaster.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These plasters require no setup. Simply open the sterile wrapper and carefully apply the plaster to the clean, dry burn area. Ensure the border adheres well to the surrounding skin. For larger burns, multiple plasters may be used, ensuring the gel dressing covers the entire affected area.
Compatibility: These plasters are designed for use on minor burns and scalds. They are suitable for use on intact skin surrounding the burn area. They are not intended for use on broken skin (other than the burn itself), infected wounds, or third-degree burns. Always consult a healthcare professional for serious burns.
Care: Store the plasters in their original, unopened packaging in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Check the expiry date before use; do not use expired plasters. Once applied, the plaster can remain in place for an extended period, allowing for observation. If the plaster needs to be removed, lift it gently from the edges. Dispose of used plasters responsibly.
