Application
Finger with Applicator:
- Cut a piece of net to the required size (±15cm) and put it on the applicator
- Introduce the applicator onto the finger with the dressing on the wider side
- Hold the net at the base of the finger and slowly pull the applicator until it gets to 7cm of the tip of the finger
- Spin the applicator to roll up the net at the tip of the finger
- Introduce the applicator on the finger again
- Remove the applicator and adjust the net at the base of the finger if necessary.
Finger without Applicator:
- Cut a piece of the net with the size “A” and “B”. Size A is the tip of the finger to the bottom of the finger, and size B is the bottom of the finger to the wrist
- Introduce the finger with the dressing in the net until it is completely covered
- Stretch the end of the net and spin it until it gets fixated
- Cover the hand with the net and fold it on the wrist
- Cut about 4cm of the net at the palm of the hand, below the finger with the dressing.
- Cut the extra material around the unaffected fingers
- The net will remain firm at the hand, allowing all kind of movements.
Securing a dressing on the hand or wrist:
- Measure the distance between the wrist to the tip of the fingers
- Cut a piece of the net with the same distance
- Expand the net to its maximum, introducing the hands inside the net
- Apply the net on the hand in order to fixate the dressing
- Cut four threads on the top – one for the ring finger, one for the index finger, one for the middle finger and one for the thumb
- Fixate the fingers, passing them through the cut threads. Cut the threads wider if needed
- The net will remain firm at the hand, allowing for flexible movement
