How to Use

1. For Wet Wrapping:

3. Apply prescribed emollients or topical corticosteroids generously to the affected skin areas as directed by a healthcare professional.
4. Dampen the Tubifast Vest thoroughly with lukewarm water, then gently squeeze out any excess water until it is just damp.
5. Apply the damp Tubifast Vest directly over the treated skin. Ensure a snug fit without being restrictive.
6. Immediately apply a second, dry Tubifast Vest over the damp layer.
7. Leave the two layers on for several hours or overnight, as advised by your healthcare provider. Re-dampen the inner layer if it dries out prematurely.
8. For Dry Wrapping:
9. Apply emollients or topical medications to the affected skin as prescribed.
10. Apply the dry Tubifast Vest directly over the treated skin to protect dressings and prevent scratching.
11. Replace daily or as needed, ensuring cleanliness and efficacy.

Caution & Warnings

• Always consult a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or dermatologist, before initiating wet or dry wrapping therapies, especially for children.

• Monitor the child's skin regularly for any signs of increased irritation, infection, or discomfort.
• Discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice if adverse reactions, such as severe redness, itching, or swelling, occur.
• Ensure the garment is not applied too tightly, as this can impede circulation.
• Keep out of reach of infants and young children to prevent accidental entanglement or suffocation.
• For external use on skin only.
• The Tubifast Vest is intended for single-patient use. Do not share between individuals.
