Hartmann Hypoallergenic Adhesive Tape Paper 5m x 2.5cm

Directions for Use:

1. Ensure the skin is clean and dry before applying the tape. Remove any dirt, oil, or lotion.
2. Measure the required length of tape and cut it using sharp scissors. Avoid tearing the tape, as this can create uneven edges.
3. Peel the backing paper from the tape, exposing the adhesive side.
4. Position the tape over the bandage or dressing, ensuring it covers the edges securely.
5. Press the tape firmly onto the skin, smoothing it out from the center outwards to avoid wrinkles and ensure good adhesion.
6. To remove the tape, gently peel it back from the skin, pulling in the direction of hair growth to minimize discomfort.

Recommended Frequency:

Change the tape as needed, typically when the dressing needs to be changed or if the tape becomes loose or soiled. This may be daily or less frequently depending on the specific wound or injury and the advice of your healthcare professional.

Additional Tips:

1. Avoid applying the tape over broken skin or irritated areas.
2. If the tape is being used to secure a dressing, ensure the dressing itself is sterile and applied correctly.
3. Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its adhesive properties.
4. If any redness, itching, or irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
5. For sensitive skin, consider performing a small patch test before applying the tape to a larger area.
