Troubleshooting

The strip doesn't stick well.

Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free of lotions or oils before applying. Press firmly on all edges of the strip.

The strip is too tight and restricts movement.

Reapply the strip, ensuring it is not too tight. If the finger swells, remove the strip and consult a healthcare professional.

Adhesive residue remains on the skin after removal.

Gently remove the residue with warm soapy water or adhesive remover.
