Tips for adhesion
The SECUADO® patch has been designed to adhere to skin for a full 24 hours. Patients should be instructed to1:
Change their application site every time they apply a new patch
Choose an application site that is clean, dry, and intact
Not apply the patch on skin that has cuts, scrapes, burns, rashes, redness, or other skin problems
Select an application site that is hairless or nearly hairless
If there is a lot of hair, use scissors to clip the hair as close to the skin as possible; they should not shave the application site
Not apply the patch on skin that has oils, lotions, or powders on it
Not apply the patch to areas of their skin where they wear tight clothing, such as waistbands, bras, or tank top straps
Avoid bathing or swimming while wearing the patch, but they may shower
