Features &
Benefits |
| |
|
|
-
Helps tape and
film adhesion.
-
Fast and easy to
use, only one coat
is required, so
less product is
used per
application.
-
Removes easily
using skin
cleanser or soap
and water, so
unsanitary residue
isn’t left in or
around the wound
area.
-
Applies easily,
even on awkward
areas such as
elbows, knees, and
heels. Moves
naturally with
patients’ skin and
won’t crack or
peel.

"breathe" so tapes

better.

intervals between
dressing changes.
