Product details of Nexcare 588-30-CA

This model is all about thinness: the waterproof film is ultra thin and breathable, which makes it comfortable for extended wear. The sizes are assorted in the same box, so there is no single dimension for this pack. Choose the bandage that covers the wound with a margin of adhesive all around. For deep, infected or heavily bleeding wounds, consult a health professional.

Application of Nexcare clear waterproof bandages

The film adheres best to clean, completely dry skin. The package directions remain the reference for application and removal.

1. Clean the wound and dry the surrounding skin thoroughly
2. Choose the size from the assortment that suits the area to cover
3. Peel the bandage from its backing without touching the pad
4. Center the pad over the wound, smooth the film onto the skin, then remove the tabs
5. Replace the bandage if it lifts, becomes soiled or as directed by the manufacturer

Care and storage of Nexcare 588-30-CA

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.
