Their diamond-shaped design forms a watertight seal around the pad, which keeps out water, dirt and germs. The film stays breathable, and its ultra-thin finish is barely noticeable on the skin.

Specific features of Nexcare 432-50-CA

Unlike fabric or opaque plastic bandages, the transparent film lets the skin around the pad show through. The perimeter seal is what makes the bandage waterproof: it must be smoothed down completely on clean, dry skin to do its job. The stated dimensions describe the complete bandage, adhesive border included. For deep, infected or heavily bleeding wounds, consult a health professional.

Application of Nexcare waterproof bandages

Choose the size that covers the wound with an adhesive margin all around. The package directions remain the reference for application and replacement.

1. Clean the wound and dry the surrounding skin thoroughly
2. Choose a suitable size from the assortment for the area to be covered
3. Peel off the protective tabs without touching the pad
4. Centre the pad over the wound and smooth the whole adhesive border to form the watertight seal
5. Replace the bandage if it lifts or as directed by the manufacturer

Care and storage of Nexcare 432-50-CA

Each bandage is single-use: discard it after removal, without washing or reuse. Store the remaining units in their box, away from moisture and heat, and check the expiry date. The 1825-day reference shelf life applies to the product in storage and is not a wear time.
