6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

NECESSARY POINTS

TO PROTECT HUMAN BODY

USE DISPOSABLE GLOVES TO AVOID BEING STAINED WITH RESIN.

AS BENEAST / BENEFLEX IS LIGHTWEIGHT, PATIENTS SHOULD BE CAUTIONED AGAINST UNDUE ACTIVITIES THAT WOULD AFFECT THE CAST INTEGRITY AND THEIR HEALING.

NECESSARY POINTS

TO PROTECT ECOLOGY

SEGREGATED COLLECTION TO BURN UP BY USING INCINERATOR.

DEFECATION OR REMOVE

WHERE RESIN HAS COME IN CONTACT WITH SKIN, IT CAN BE REMOVED USING ACETONE OR ALCOHOL PRIOR TO SETTING.

 7. HANDLING & STORAGE

HANDLING

DISPOSABLE GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN WHILE HANDLING THE TAPE, AS THE POLYURETHANE RESIN WILL ADHERE TO SKIN OR TO CLOTHING.

STORAGE

RECOMMENDED TO STORE IN A COOL, DRY AREA.

STORAGE AT HIGH TEMPERATURE OR EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT WILL AFFECT THE SHELF LIFE.
