Troubleshooting
Prosthetic not sticking securely
Ensure the skin is thoroughly clean and dry before application. Reapply adhesive, ensuring even coverage, and hold firmly in place for an extended period. Check the expiration date of the adhesive if applicable.
Skin irritation after application
Remove the prosthetic immediately. Clean the skin gently. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. This may indicate an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the adhesive or latex.
