How to use?

Clean the application area thoroughly and ensure that the skin is dry and free from creams and ointments. Hairy skin areas should be shaved before applying Hydrofilm. 
- Open the peel pouch and take out the dressing. Hydrofilm is protected by 4 covers, numbered 1 to 4 in the order of application. Slightly remove the protective covers 1 and 2, then 
- Place the Hydrofilm adhesive side on the wound. Fully remove the protective covers 1 and 2, gently press the entire film onto the skin, conforming it to the body contours. 
- Remove the protective cover 3.
- Then remove the protective cover 4 and gently press Hydrofilm to the skin. Hydrofilm can be removed almost painlessly by overstretching the material. To do this, loosen an edge and carefully take off the dressing by overstretching it.
