The film can be removed by gently lifting an edge and peeling it away slowly. For easier removal, especially if the film has been on for a long time, a skin-friendly adhesive remover or saline solution can be used to help dissolve the adhesive.
This product is intended to prevent contamination and protect wounds. It is not a treatment for infection. If a wound shows signs of infection, consult a healthcare professional before using any dressing.
This product is indicated for adult use. For pediatric wound care, consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate product.
The duration the film remains intact can vary depending on the wound site, activity level, and moisture exposure. It generally provides protection for several days, but should be replaced if it becomes loose, damaged, or if the wound requires assessment.
Yes, the spray film can be used as a protective layer over primary wound dressings to enhance their adherence and provide a waterproof barrier, or it can be used as a standalone dressing for minor wounds.
The primary component is a polymer film-forming agent. The exact formulation is proprietary but designed to be breathable and waterproof.
Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water. Ensure it is thoroughly dry before reattaching. If blockage persists, contact customer support.
Ensure the spray was applied in a thin, even layer from the recommended distance. Excessive application can lead to longer drying times or stickiness. Allow more time to dry or gently pat with a sterile, dry gauze if necessary.
Discontinue use immediately. Gently remove the film with a suitable solvent if needed and clean the skin. Consult a healthcare professional for persistent irritation.
Ensure the skin was completely dry and free of oils or lotions before application. Apply a thinner, more even layer. Avoid stretching the skin during application.
Setup: Ensure the wound area is clean and dry before application. Hold the can approximately 15-30 cm away from the wound. Spray a thin, even layer to cover the wound and a small margin of surrounding skin. Allow the film to dry for a few seconds until it is transparent and tack-free.
Compatibility: This product is generally compatible with most primary wound dressings. It is suitable for use on intact skin to create a barrier or over secondary dressings to secure them and provide a waterproof layer. It is intended for adult use.
Care: Store the spray at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the nozzle clean; if it becomes blocked, remove it carefully and clean with warm water, ensuring it is completely dry before reattaching. Avoid spraying directly onto mucosal surfaces or into the eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
