  13. 13. QUESTION #1 How can I prevent the straps from sticking up? Feed the long strap through the second hole in the hole strap to make it lay down Cut off excess QUESTION #2 Why does the hydrocolloid get wrinkled when worn? The hydrocolloid conforms to the skin like a second skin. It is supposed to wrinkle and stretch with the skin. Wrinkles show the device is working properly and providing a comfortable wear experience for the patient. Wrinkles fade within minutes of removal. QUESTION #3 Dont you have to warm hydrocolloid to make it stick? Not our formulation. CathGrips initial tack on dry skin is sufficient to eliminate special warming techniques. The patients skin will warm the adhesive and increase the hold over the first few hours. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
