Leafix - Essential Best Practices

Leafix for Beards

Leafix Key training points

  • When applying Leafix, make sure the skin is dry. The product will cope with sweat and fluids as long as it is put on dry skin.
  • Place the Y shape anchor point first and close to the side of the mouth, so you do not have to stretch the material.
  • Make sure the Leafix does not have creases or gaps particularly if the patient is Prone, this will prevent fluid or saliva getting under and affecting the adhesive.
