- Prepare the wound area by ensuring skin surrounding the injury is clean and completely dry.
- Cover the wound with an appropriate sterile dressing.
- Tear strips of tape by hand and apply to secure all four edges of the dressing, creating a complete seal.
- Anchor at least half of the tape's width to intact, healthy skin, not just the dressing material.
- Press firmly over the entire tape surface to activate the adhesive and ensure a strong, water-resistant bond.
- Regularly inspect the dressing for security and replace if the seal is compromised or the dressing becomes saturated.
