Instructions for use on intact skin:
Ensure the skin is clean and dry e.g. remove makeup. Press out a sufficient quantity of cream (about 2g) at the site of the procedure.
Apply an occlusive dressing or a plastic film. If using plastic film it should be stuck on with adhesive tape. Paper framed dressings are also suitable.
Cover the Numit cream so that you get a thick layer underneath. Do not spread out the cream. Smooth down the dressing edges carefully to avoid leakage.
The time of application can easily be marked directly on the occlusive dressing.

For split skin grafting Numit must be applied 2 hours beforehand.

Immediately before the procedure, the occlusive dressing will be removed, the Numit cream wiped off and the area cleaned with alcohol.
Duration of effective skin anaesthesia will be at least 2 hours after removal of the occlusive dressing.

BENEFITS
Numit contains a harmonious combination of lidocaine 2.5% w/w (also called lignocaine) and prilocaine 2.5% w/w. Studies have shown that this combination of local anaesthetics can penetrate the skin and target nerve endings. This helps stop pain signals from starting and spreading and creates a skin-numbing effect.
