How to use
- Prepare the area: Cleanse and dry the area where you need to apply the Elastoplast Wide Fixation Tape. Ensure it is free from oils, moisturizers, or perspiration.
- Cut the tape: Measure and cut the desired length of Elastoplast Wide Fixation Tape using scissors. Ensure the tape is slightly longer than the area you want to cover.
- Apply the tape: Once you have the correct length, peel off the protective layer, and apply the tape onto the skin. Do not stretch the tape as you apply it. Smooth it down and make sure it is adhering properly.
- Correct Position: Make sure the joint or the part of the body where the tape has been applied is in a neutral position.
- Check regularly: Regularly check to ensure the tape is not causing discomfort or skin irritation. If irritation or discomfort happens, discontinue use and contact a healthcare professional.
- Please keep in mind to avoid applying the tape on open wounds, infected areas or if you have sensitive skin prone to allergies.
