How to Apply Your Adhesive Tape

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the skin where you will apply the tape is clean and dry. If necessary, wipe it with a cloth to remove any oil or residue.

2. Measure and Cut: Unroll the required length and cut it. Due to its width, using scissors is recommended for a more precise cut.

3. Apply the Tape: Place the tape over the bandage, pressing firmly across the entire surface to activate the adhesive.

4. Smooth the Edges: Run your fingers firmly along the edges to remove air bubbles and guarantee a perfect waterproof seal.

Maintenance and Shelf Life

To preserve the adhesive properties, store the tape in a clean, dry place at room temperature. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or direct sunlight, as this could alter the quality of the adhesive and the plastic backing.

Usage Tips for First Responders

This wide format is a "must-have" for stabilizing splints or securing bulky post-operative dressings. For optimal protection, use it in conjunction with Telfa non-adherent pads. It is also very useful for reinforcing the waterproof seal of an existing bandage before exposure to water.
