• The strong adhesion of the dressing strip may cause discomfort or damage to fragile or already compromised skin. Assess the condition of the skin before applying the dressing strip. If the skin is fragile, compromised, or has open wounds, it may be best to consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate wound care.
• The dressing strip should not be used on infected wounds. If you suspect that your wound is infected, seek medical advice for proper evaluation and treatment. Using the dressing strip on an infected wound may hinder proper healing and increase the risk of complications.
• When applying the dressing strip, ensure that it is not wrapped too tightly around the wound or body part. Excessive pressure or tightness can impede blood circulation and cause discomfort or further injury. Maintain proper circulation and assess the tightness of the dressing strip regularly.
