Application Instructions
- Choose the appropriate dressing according to wound size. Prepare the site according to institutions protocol. Open package and remove sterile dressing.
- Hold and pull back the paper tabs, ending at the white tape border to expose adhesive surface.
- Center dressing over the site and press the dressing into place.

- For dressings supplied with a label, record information and then place it on or near the dressing. Stabilize extensions according to institutions protocol.
Removal Instructions
- Gently grasp an edge and slowly peel the dressing in the direction of hair growth. For removal from IV sites or other devices, grasp one edge of the dressing and gently pull straight out to stretch and release adhesion. Care should be taken not to dislodge catheters or other devices or to disrupt wound surface during removal.
- Avoid skin trauma by peeling the dressing back, rather than pulling it up from the skin. Support the skin while removing the dressing. Note: If the dressing adheres to the wound surface, it can be gently soaked off.
- To aid in lifting the dressing edge, secure a piece of medical tape to one corner and rub firmly. Use the tape as a tab to help slowly peel back the dressing. Proceed with step one to remove the remainder of the dressing.
