It’s as easy as...
APPLY
If needed, use only mild soap and water to clean the area.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR ACETONE.
At the site of the intended procedure, apply 1g to 2.5g of LMX4® Cream;
the area should be approx. 2.5cm x 2.5cm.
Placing the cream directly onto the dressing, and then placing the
dressing with the cream onto the procedure site ensures a no touch
technique.
You should not exceed more than 10g in total or (1-2g per 10cm²).
As a guide 1g of LMX4® Cream is approximately equal to a 5cm length
of cream squeezed from the tube.
COVER
Cover the LMX4® Cream with an occlusive dressing or plastic wrap to
prevent the cream being accidently rubbed off the skin.
Apply the dressing carefully sealing it around the cream without
directly pressing or spreading it.
Once the LMX4® Cream has been applied do not spread the cream by
pressing on it as this can reduce the dose applied and the effectiveness.
After 30 minutes of the LMX4® Cream and dressing being in place,
sufficient Lignocaine (local anaesthetic) will have penetrated into the
skin, making it feel numb. 1,2,3
If no occlusive dressing is required, depending on the procedure, you
may need to increase the length of time the cream is on your skin.
See the alternative instructions in the package insert.
