7 precautions for medical infusion patches:

1. Medical infusion patches are disposable consumables and should not be reused;

2. Once any damage is found to the packaging of medical infusion patches, the use of the product should be immediately stopped;

3. Avoid touching the absorbent pad of the infusion patch with your hands to prevent infection;

4. Adhesive tape can only be applied to the intact area of the skin, and should not be directly covered on the damaged area of the wound to avoid affecting the body and causing complications;

5. If you are allergic to the adhesive tape, be sure to pay more attention when using medical infusion patches, and remind the nurse of your own situation in advance to avoid unnecessary pain;

6. If you are not sure if you are allergic to the adhesive tape, but for patients with skin allergies, it is also important to inform them in advance when using medical infusion patches and use them under the supervision of a doctor.
