How to Use AID Band-aid Adhesive for Wound Care

Quick answer

Clean the wound, dry the surrounding skin, and apply the AID Band-aid adhesive firmly over the cut. Change the dressing daily or whenever it becomes wet or dirty.

Step-by-step guide to applying AID Band-aid adhesive

1. 1. Clean the wound: Wash the cut or scrape gently with mild soap and clean water. Pat the area dry with a sterile gauze or clean cloth. Do not use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide directly on the wound as they can damage tissue. Always dry the skin around the wound completely before applying the bandage.
2. 2. Peel and position the bandage: Remove the protective backing from the AID Band-aid adhesive without touching the medicated pad. Center the pad directly over the wound, ensuring it covers the entire injury. Avoid touching the pad to keep it sterile.
3. 3. Press the adhesive firmly: Smooth the adhesive edges outward from the center, pressing firmly against the skin. Make sure there are no wrinkles or gaps that could let dirt or moisture in. Check that the edges are sealed all around.
4. 4. Remove and replace daily: To remove, gently lift one corner and pull the bandage parallel to the skin, not straight up. If it sticks, moisten the adhesive with warm water to ease removal. Apply a fresh bandage after cleaning the wound again. Never reuse a bandage; always use a new one for each change.
