Warning: Keep out of reach of children.
Directions: Cleanse finger and wound. Stop any bleeding by direct pressure on wound using a clean gauze pad and elevating hand until bleeding has stopped. Apply small amount of antibiotic cream to any areas of broken skin. If skin is broken, use a small non-stick sterile gauze pad on wound. Wrap the gauze around finger 1-2 times. To secure the dressing, wrap thin strips of adhesive tape around gauze 1-2 times. Place the finger in center of splint and gently apply pressure around splint to mold fit. Splint should be snug but not tight. Secure splint to finger at the base with thin strips of adhesive tape. Wrap around finger once firmly but not too tight. If finger becomes blue, cold, or numb, loosen tape slightly. If redness, numbness, swelling, or pain persists, consult your doctor at once.
