Check the integrity of the individual sterility protector.

Instructions for use :

Must be applied by an adult for those under 16.

1. Clean and disinfect the wound and its surroundings with an antiseptic solution. If necessary, proceed with hemostasis (stop the bleeding). Dry with a sterile compress to facilitate the adhesion of the strips.
2. Open the sachet sterilely. If the strips need to be cut, use sterile or alcohol-disinfected scissors.
3. After washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water, apply two strips parallel to the wound, on either side of the wound. (see diagram)
4. Be careful not to place your fingers on the strip that will be in contact with the wound. Apply a third strip perpendicularly to one edge of the wound and, with light traction, apply it to the opposite edge to ensure that the edges of the wound are brought together, without overlapping.
5. Apply the following strips in the same way until the wound is completely closed. Finish the assembly by placing 2 transverse strips to reinforce the assembly.

Leave the strips in place (3 to 4 days) until they come off or no longer perform their function. Replace the strips according to the instructions until completely healed. The wound must remain dry. Primary healing of a superficial wound takes about ten days.

Precautions :

• The presence of hair or the use of oily products such as cream or ointment can affect the adhesiveness.
• Sterile single-use strip; do not reuse or reposition a strip already applied, do not store a strip in an open bag (otherwise risk of infection)
• Do not re-sterilize. Check integrity of sterility protector before use. Do not use if packaging is damaged.
• To limit the risk of superinfection of the wound, it is advisable to cover the whole thing with an antiseptic dressing. Do not remove or change the strips each time the dressing is changed.
• Healing is facilitated if the strip is positioned without leaving any space or overlap between the edges of the wound.
• Regularly monitor the wound and its surroundings for signs of infection such as pain, redness, swelling, odor or discharge.

If in doubt or if you have an infection, contact your doctor or nurse.
