Product details for Nexcare AHD-06-CA

This model is not an ordinary adhesive bandage: the hydrocolloid pad forms a gel on contact with wound fluid and is worn for several days, until it turns white or lifts. The manufacturer intends it for abrasions, cuts, minor burns, blisters and post-surgical incisions. The pack contains a single 3 x 4 in size. For deep, infected or heavily bleeding wounds, consult a health professional.

Application of Nexcare hydrocolloid pads

The adhesive holds best on clean skin; dry the surrounding area without rubbing the wound. The package directions remain the reference for application and replacement.

1. Clean the wound and dry the surrounding skin
2. Remove the protective liner without touching the adhesive side of the pad
3. Center the gel pad over the wound or blister
4. Press the edges onto the skin for a few seconds to seal the dressing
5. Leave in place for several days; replace when the pad has turned white across its surface, if it lifts or as directed by the manufacturer

Care and storage of Nexcare AHD-06-CA

Each pad 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 1095 days applies to the product in storage and is not a wear time.
