Warnings and Precautions

Do not use Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure on areas where adhesion cannot be obtained. Potential causes of inadequate adhesion are presence of exudate, skin oils, moisture, or areas containing dense hair such as the scalp.
Do not use Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure on mucosal surfaces including lips or inside the mouth.
Do not use Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure near the eye or over eyelids.
Do not use Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure on intimate areas.
Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure is made with a long-lasting adhesive and is intended to be worn for two weeks with regular bathing. Early removal of Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure may result in skin stripping, pain, and/or redness to the underlying skin. Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure may be soaked in warm salt water or dabbed with a rubbing alcohol-soaked cotton ball to soften the adhesive and aid in early removal.
If signs of infection are present around the wound covered by Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure, remove the wound closure and contact a medical professional.
Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure should not be used below the skin surface.
Do not use Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure if the sterile package is damaged or compromised.
Do not swim or otherwise immerse the wound in water for prolonged periods. Immersing the Sylke Adhesive Wound Closure in water will cause the bandage to lose adhesion.

Mode of Use/Application

Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure should only be used on clean, dry wounds when the skin edges of the wound are closely positioned without effort. Examine environment where Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure will be handled and applied and ensure the absence of visible dirt or contaminants. To apply Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure, thoroughly cleanse and dry wound to prepare skin for proper adhesion of Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure to the wound edges. Open sterile pouch. Remove Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure strip from pouch. Grasp strip and remove pre-slit 1” tab to expose adhesive layer. Position exposed adhesive portion at least 1 cm over the end of the wound and press gently to ensure full adhesion to skin. Remove liner while guiding and gently pressing adhesive strip over the length of the wound until at least 1 cm of Sylke® extends over the edge of the wound. If length of the wound exceeds length of Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure, repeat previous steps with additional devices. Trim excess dressing with clean scissors. Press gently to secure.

Removal & Change Frequency

Gently lift the edge of Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure at one end of the wound. Slowly peel Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure away from skin along the line of the wound. Use other hand to stabilize the wound to decrease tension as the Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure strip is peeled off. If Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure does not easily remove from skin, dab the strip edges with rubbing alcohol from a cotton ball or alcohol wipe. Once fully removed, discard the used wound closure. Do not reuse or resterilize the device. Any residual adhesive and/or dried wound exudate can be gently cleaned from the skin with warm
soapy water. If residue remains, an alcohol pad may be used to loosen adhesive remnants.
Do not swim or fully submerge the wound while wearing Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure. Doing so will affect adhesion qualities of the Wound Closure.
Keep wound clean and free of dirt and debris. Dirt trapped in the Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure may cause irritation or infection.
Contact a medical professional if signs of infection or irritation are present.
Remove the Sylke® Adhesive Wound Closure after 14 days.
