EQUI-FIXT
Preparation
- Clean and dry application area.
- Trim or shave the hair around the wound or area to be covered for best adhesion and hygiene.
- Clean the skin with a mild antiseptic and allow it to dry completely.

Application
- Open the pack and remove the tape without touching the sticky surface. Avoid handling the adhesive edge with your fingers.
- Measure and cut the tape to the required length, rounding the corners if desired to reduce edge lifting.
- Apply the gauze to wound (this is included in pack). Do not place adhesive directly on an open wound.
- Position the tape over the wound or area—do not stretch the skin or the tape when applying.
- Press the tape onto the skin and rub firmly with the palm of your hand for 20–30 seconds. The adhesive is heat-activated, so rubbing it on well ensures a secure bond.
- Smooth out any wrinkles or air pockets by pressing from the center outward.

Aftercare & Removal
- Check the tape daily to ensure it’s secure and the skin underneath looks healthy.
- If the tape becomes soiled or loose, replace it.
- To remove, gently peel back an edge and pull slowly at a low angle; use an adhesive remover if needed to reduce discomfort.

Safety & Tips
- Do not touch the adhesive with your fingers — oils from skin will reduce stickiness.
- Shaving the area provides the best results for adhesion and reduces irritation.
- Do not apply over infected wounds without veterinary advice. Seek veterinary care for deep, heavily bleeding, or seriously infected wounds.
- Store tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
