• When the area is completely dry, follow these steps:
  • Cut tape length to meet clinical need
  • Remove the liner
  • Place tape on skin without stretching or strapping to avoid causing tension blisters
  • Spiral tape around device as applicable to maximize surface area contact
  • Apply firm pressure to tape and device (if applicable) to maximize adhesion
• Maintain close clinical oversight when excessive fluids and/or secretions are present.
• Tape securement and tube position should be monitored routinely.
