Bedsore Guard Directions

  1. Trim or carefully shave any hair over the lower back and buttocks 

  2. Wipe off the skin oil with rubbing alcohol

  3. Peel off the Bedsore Guard backing before placing.

  4. NOTE: When placing the Bedsore Guard make sure that the skin is in its fully stretched position.  

  5. First, place the piece with a slit horizontally above the buttocks so that the slit fits into the butt crease.

  6. Second, place each of the other two pieces vertically, overlapping the horizontal piece by 1/2" and having the medial edge hugging the butt crease.

  7. Massage down the edges of the Bedsore Guard.

  8. Bedsore Guard is designed to get wet from typical sources such as showering and cleaning.  However, prolonged water exposure (such as swimming or a bath) can affect the longevity of the bandage.

  9. If soiled with urine or feces, clean the bandage with soap and tap water using a paper towel or gauze.

  10. Leave the Bedsore Guard in place until it falls off
    (sometimes 21 days or more).
  11. Apply a small (pea size) amount of Natural Marine Extract Gel or another humectant over the bandage once a day

  12. Remove the bandage earlier than the suggested time period ONLY when necessary using rubbing alcohol
