Made in the USA.

The center transparent window is made of a thin sheet of polyurethane material, highly breathable with a low level of adhesion and is waterproof for better wound healing and skin health.

The border is a nonwoven film with a strong acrylic adhesive with a triggered easy skin release. Existing products for vulnerable skin often sacrifice adhesive strength for easier removal.

Comfort Release® is patented with a unique polymer that allows for secure adhesion to the skin when it is needed. A simple swipe with rubbing alcohol triggers the adhesive to release, so you can remove the transparent adhesive dressing without pain or discomfort to the patient.

Comfort Release® Dressings are designed for…

• Children / Older adults
• Anyone with sensitive skin, fragile skin, or thin skin
• Anyone taking blood thinners, steroids or any medication that can affect your skin

DIRECTIONS
To apply, first remove any soap residue, lotion or oils from periwound skin; skin must be clean and dry for strong adhesive bonding. If necessary, clean the skin with alcohol and allow it to dry.

Peel the release paper. Apply the dressing over the skin area and gently press down on the dressing.

To remove, simply wet the dry border area with rubbing alcohol – we recommend using alcohol prep pads. Use sufficient alcohol for painless release.

The clear window film can be removed without discomfort due to its low skin bond.

WARNING
Seek professional help for medical emergencies. Consult a physician for deep or penetrating wounds. If irritation or redness develops or persists, discontinue use, and consult a physician. People with prior skin reactions to acrylic adhesives, skin burns, or allergic reactions to rubbing alcohol should not use Comfort Release®.
