Instructions of how to apply: 1. Load the gauze onto the outside of the plastic finger applicator. The applicator is a frame that should fit over the finger without touching it. 2. Slide the applicator over the finger. Pull the bottom edge of the gauze off of the applicator and around the base of the finger. 3. Pull the applicator back up over the finger while holding the gauze at the base of the finger. When the applicator is off of the finger but still has about half of the gauze on it, twist it a few times, this will create a secure bandage that covers the tip of the finger. 4.Remove the applicator from the excess gauze. Roll the remaining length of gauze down over the finger to the base, and secure it with surgical tape.
