How to apply your patch
Ensure the skin and device are clean and dry.
Carefully remove the backing from the patch, try not to touch the sticky side whilst doing this, and gently place it over your device, carefully smoothing out towards the edges.
Make sure all edges of the patch are flat against the skin. This will ensure the tape adheres to the skin properly for optimum lasting results.Avoid contact with water for 2 hours after application of your patch. This is to allow the patch adhesive to fully bond to the skin. Please note that any edges lifted on application will shorten the wear time of the patch. This is due to the lifted edge allowing water to leak under the patch and weaken the adhesive.
Therefore, it is crucial to carefully apply your patch, avoiding any lifted edges. If lifted edges occur on application, please use a medical adhesive glue to stick the lifted edge back down flat. We recommend Skin Tac™.
