FAQs

How often should I change the dressing?

Change the dressing daily, or more often if it becomes wet, soiled, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Can I reuse the dressings?

No, these dressings are single-use only. Using a dressing more than once increases the risk of infection.

What should I do if the dressing gets wet?

Replace the dressing with a new, sterile one as soon as possible to maintain a clean wound environment.

Are these dressings suitable for all types of wounds?

These dressings are suitable for minor cuts and grazes. For deep wounds, burns, or infected wounds, consult a healthcare professional.

What if I experience an allergic reaction?

Remove the dressing immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Stop using the product if you suspect an allergic reaction.

How should I store the dressings?

Store the dressings in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Can these dressings be used on children?

Yes, these dressings can be used on children, but adult supervision is advised. Make sure to apply it carefully.

What is the non-adherent film?

The non-adherent film is a layer that prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound, reducing pain and trauma during removal.

Troubleshooting

Dressing does not stick properly.

Ensure the skin around the wound is clean, dry, and free of oils or lotions before applying the dressing. If needed, try a different dressing or medical tape to secure the edges.

Skin irritation or allergic reaction.

Remove the dressing immediately and discontinue use. Clean the area gently and consult a healthcare professional. Consider using a hypoallergenic dressing.

Dressing is difficult to remove.

Gently lift an edge of the dressing. If it's sticking, try moistening the edge with water or saline solution before slowly peeling it off. Be careful not to further injure the skin.
