If a bandage is not easily releasing avoid pulling on bandage, instead work a little baby oil or cooking oil into the adhesive to help the bandage release from the skin. Or use ice (covered with a paper towel) for 5 minutes or less. Ice will make the adhesive brittle, which may cause it to release Where can I purchase Nexcare™ Products? Nexcare products are available at drug, grocery, mass merchandisers, clubs and online at 3Mestore. Do Nexcare™ Products contain natural rubber latex? Many of the bandage products, such as Nexcare™ Active™ Sport Extra Cushion & Stick, Brights Extra Cushion & Stick, Comfort Fabric Soft & Conforming, Heavy Duty Flexible Fabric, and Heavy Duty Clear & Tough bandages are latex free. The packaging or wrapper on Nexcare™ Waterproof Clear Protection and Tattoo™ Waterproof bandages contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions. Most of the first aid tapes and wound closures, such as Tegaderm™ Transparent Dressings are also latex free. When heating the Nexcare™ Reusable Cold/Hot Pack, do I remove the outer bag? Remove the cloth cover, and heat the Nexcare Reusable Cold/Hot Pack in either boiling water or a microwave oven. Carefully check the pack for leaks, and insert it in the cover or wrap it in cloth.

What should I use to care for my post-surgical incision? Nexcare™ Products offer a variety of wound care solutions that can help you have a smoother recovery process after surgery. For a convenient all-in-one solution, look for Nexcare™ Incision Care Kits. They contain everything you typically need to care for your incision until it heals. What can I use to protect my wound while taking a shower or bath? Use Nexcare™ Tegaderm™ Dressings, which are available in our all-in-one after-surgery care kits or individual packs. When worn in the shower or bath, this waterproof, breathable dressing provides long-lasting protection from dirt and germs. What can I do to help alleviate skin irritation from dressing changes? To help minimize skin irritation, use a skin protectant such as Nexcare™ Skin Protectant Wipes or the Skin Protectant Swab available in the after-surgery care kits. This will apply a thin protective coating over your skin, around the wound, and provide a waterproof barrier from fluids, adhesives, and friction. Do you have any products for sensitive skin? If your skin has a tendency to react to adhesive products, try our No Sting Liquid Bandage Spray or Drops. Both create a clear, waterproof shield for minor cuts and scrapes. We also offer Skin Protectant Wipes, which help reduce irritation from multiple dressing changes. What is Microvex™ Soothing Emollient? Microvex soothing emollient is part of a proprietary formulation developed by 3M’s Consumer Health Care lab that offers cold sore sufferers a emollient blend of synthetic and naturally-derived ingredients that soothes and provides a deep moisturizing effect. How is Nexcare™ Cold Sore Treatment different from other cold sore products? Nexcare™ Cold Sore treatment incorporates Microvex™, a unique, non-greasy emollient derived from coconut oils and propylene glycol that soothes and provides deep moisturizing benefits. It is also fast absorbing and non-greasy. How does Nexcare™ Cold Sore Treatment relieve cold sore symptoms? The Nexcare formula contains benzocaine for fast pain relief and allantoin to soften unsightly scabs and to help prevent the cold sore from drying and cracking. There is also a significant presence of natural ingredients, including Tea Tree Oil and Vitamin E. |
