How To Use

    1. Store on the shelf or in the fridge Chill for 4 hours prior to use.
    2. Travel tip If travelling to an appointment, keep the pad sandwiched between two ice packs in a cooler bag to maintain the temperature.
    3. Apply the pad Remove the protective backing from the tape and press firmly onto the skin above the needle site.
    4. Proceed immediately Apply the pad moments before the needle procedure and maintain firm pressure during insertion. Use within 20 seconds of application — if more time passes, remove, re-chill if possible, and reapply.
    5. Remove after the procedure Once the needle is removed, gently peel back the silicone tape. Dispose of the used pad directly into general waste. Skin indentation is normal and resolves within an hour.
