Application Techniques1. Skin should be clean and dry prior to application of Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film.

2. Apply a uniform coating of film over the entire treatment area when using the foam applicator. When using the spray bottle, hold the spray nozzle 10 to 15 cm from the skin and apply in a smooth even coating over the entire treatment area, whilst moving the spray in a sweeping motion.

3. If an area is missed, reapply to that area only after the first application has dried (approximately 30 seconds).

4. If Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film is applied to an area with skin folds or other skin-to-skin contact, make sure that the skin contact areas are separated and allow the coating to dry before returning to normal positions.

5. Re-application is recommended at least every 48-72 hours (under normal use) or more frequently if needed.

Removal TechniquesRemoval of film is not necessary between re-applications. However, if desired, the film can be removed with most medical adhesive removers, as directed.

To re-apply Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film, clean and dry the area to be treated and re-apply Cavilon No StingBarrier Film as above.

PrecautionsAllow the product to dry completely before applying pads or clothing.

The application of too many layers can make the product feel stiff.

Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film used under electrodes may affect readings.
