Benefits of Use

How to Use

1. Carefully remove the Tubifast Vest from its packaging.
2. Ensure the child's skin is clean and dry before application, unless performing wet wrapping.
3. If using for dry wrapping, apply any prescribed topical creams or emollients to the affected areas of the skin first.
4. Gently pull the vest over the child's torso, ensuring it fits snugly but not too tightly.
5. Smooth out any wrinkles to ensure even pressure and comfort.
6. For wet wrapping, after applying emollients, dampen a second layer of Tubifast bandage (not the vest itself, but a separate Tubifast bandage) with lukewarm water and wring out excess.
7. Apply this damp layer over the treated skin, then put the dry Tubifast Vest on top to hold it in place.
8. Replace the vest as needed, typically daily or as advised by a healthcare professional.

Caution & Warnings

• Always read the label and instructions for use before application.
• Do not apply if the packaging is damaged or open.
• Ensure the vest is not applied too tightly, as this can restrict circulation or cause discomfort.
• Monitor the child's skin regularly for any signs of irritation, redness, or allergic reaction.
• Discontinue use if adverse reactions occur and consult a healthcare professional.
• For wet wrapping, always follow specific medical advice regarding the frequency and duration of application, as prolonged wet dressings can lead to skin maceration.
• Keep out of reach of small children to prevent choking hazards from packaging.
• The vest is not sterile and should not be used on open wounds without an appropriate primary dressing.
• Consult a healthcare professional for advice on managing severe eczema or skin conditions.
