Sticking the plaster on

Step 1: Open the pouch and take plasters out
Tear open or cut the pouch along the cutting line. When using scissors, be careful no to damage the Plasters. Take out one plaster.

Step 2: Remove the middle zigzag release paper from the plaster.
A protective liner covers the sticky (adhesive) side of the plaster. Peel off middle zigzag release paper from the plaster. Do not touch the sticky part of the plaster with your fingers.

Step 3: Apply the plaster and press it firmly onto the skin
Apply the sticky side of the plaster onto your chosen skin side.

Step 4: Remove the remaining sides of the release paper
Peel off the remaining sides of the release paper and stretch the plaster as needed for a smooth and even plaster application.
Press down the plaster firmly to make sure that the edges stick well.

Gently pull on 1 edge of the HARUFEN plaster to remove it off your skin.
Fold the HARUFEN plaster in half and throw the used HARUFEN plaster in the trash out of the reach of children and pets.

Bathing, showering and swimming
If at all possible contact with water should be avoided whilst using HARUFEN. Bathing, showering or swimming can be done in the time period when you are not wearing the plaster. If you took a recent bath or shower, you should wait until your skin cools before using the plaster.
