3. Remove the protective tabs without touching the pad
4. Center the pad over the wound and smooth the film onto the skin without stretching it
5. Replace the bandage if it lifts, becomes soiled or as directed by the manufacturer

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