Setup and Preparation
- Inspect the Cap: Before first use, carefully inspect the gel cap for any tears or damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Clean the Area: Ensure the toe or finger where the cap will be applied is clean and dry.
- Optional: Apply Powder: For easier application and to prevent tackiness, a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch can be applied to the inside of the cap or the digit.
Operating and Application
To apply the OPPO Gel Toe and Finger Cap:
- Gently Stretch: Hold the cap at its open end and gently stretch it slightly to widen the opening.
- Slide On: Carefully slide the cap over the affected toe or finger. Ensure it covers the area requiring protection without being too tight or causing discomfort.
- Adjust Position: Adjust the cap so it sits comfortably and securely. It should not restrict circulation.
- Wear with Footwear/Gloves: The cap can be worn inside socks, shoes, or gloves. Ensure there is adequate space to prevent compression.
Note: If the cap feels too long, it can be carefully trimmed with scissors to achieve a custom fit. Ensure edges are smooth after trimming.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care extends the life of your gel cap and maintains hygiene:
- Cleaning: Wash the gel cap regularly with mild soap and lukewarm water.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Air dry completely before re-applying. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can degrade the gel material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Powdering: After drying, a light dusting of talcum powder can help prevent the gel from becoming sticky.
