Product Information
Full details
The Nexcare Max Hold Waterproof Bandages are ideal for active individuals who require reliable, heavy-duty protection for minor cuts and scrapes during strenuous activities. These bandages excel by providing a secure, long-lasting barrier against water, dirt, and bacteria for up to 48 hours, ensuring wounds stay protected during everything from hiking to climbing. A key caveat to keep in mind is that the high-performance adhesive requires a completely clean and dry skin surface to maintain its full staying power, meaning it may not adhere well if applied to damp or oily skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, follow these application steps:
- Clean: Thoroughly wash the affected area with mild soap and water to remove debris.
- Dry: Pat the area completely dry with a sterile gauze or clean towel; moisture is the primary enemy of this adhesive.
- Apply: Peel back the backing and place the pad directly over the wound. Smooth the adhesive edges firmly against your skin.
- Removal: When replacing, gently lift an edge and peel slowly to avoid skin irritation.
Compatibility note: While these are durable, they are intended for minor wounds. If you experience deep cuts or signs of infection, seek professional medical attention immediately.
