Precautions For Medical Patch Application
Medical patch, as our daily commonly used patch, is widely used by people because of its exact curative effect, convenient use and low price. Especially in winter, many elderly people will have low back and leg pain, and they will use some medical patches to relieve pain, but there are still some people who do not know how to use it, when it is effective, and how long it is most appropriate to use it.
1. Medical patch viscosity is affected by temperature
The weather is cold now, the viscosity of the medical patch is reduced, the adhesion is poor, and it is not easy to stick. It is recommended to wipe the application site with a warm towel before use or apply it with a hot water bottle after it is pasted.
2. Post-mortem injury
In the early stage of muscle and bone injury, do not use the medical patch immediately, because the wound may be red, swollen and inflamed at this time, and the blood flow speed will increase. A good medical patch should be applied after at least 48 hours. With the consent of the doctor, use a medical patch that reduces swelling, relieves pain, activates blood and removes stasis to help wound recovery, and auxiliary drugs can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
3. Medical patch should not be used for more than 24 hours
The medical patch is an ointment that can be applied for a long time, but also pay attention to the time. Because the active ingredients in the medical patch are limited, it needs to be opened after the skin is absorbed. If it is not torn off after a delay, it will increase the burden on the skin, hinder the penetration of pores, block the discharge of sweat, and even cause local dermatitis. It is recommended that the general medical patch is applied for 8-12 hours, and the thicker medical patch should not be applied for more than 24 hours at one time.
In addition, before applying the medical patch, you must choose the right position, find the pain point, and stick it on, which is more effective and can help you get rid of the pain as soon as possible.
