How to Use

• Timing: Suitable for use from 10 days post-surgery, once stitches/staples are removed and the midwife has confirmed the incision is clean, dry, and fully closed.

• Application: Ensure the skin is clean and dry. Peel off paper (1) and place the gel side directly over the closed incision. Smooth outward from the center, then remove paper (2).

• Removal: Hold the center and gently stretch the adhesive edges outward (parallel to skin, not upward) in the direction of hair growth.

Caution & Care

• For external, single-use only (wear up to 72 hours max).

• Do not use if an infection is present or suspected; consult a healthcare professional immediately if irritation occurs.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
