Using the ClindaReach® System

The applicator can easily be assembled and disassembled. The disposable appliqués, pledgets, and unmedicated pads also enable the system to be kept clean while used for repeat applications over extended periods of time.

Using the ClindaReach System is easy -

  • Assemble the EasyReach® applicator
    The three-part collapsible applicator arm, with a multidirectional, pivoting head, snaps together quickly and easily. It can also be disassembled for storage.
  • Attach the EasyCling appliques to the circular applicator head
    Appliques can be used more than once, but should be discarded at the end of each treatment day. The medicated pledget and unmedicated pads are attached to the applique. Appliques are removed by pulling the applique tab. 
  • Affix the pledget to the EasyCling applique (Depending upon the regimen that your doctor prescribed)
    The clindamycin pledgets should be used one at a time by dipping the applicator head with the affixed applique into the pledget jar, then gently swirling the applicator handle as it rests on top of the pledgets stacked within the jar. The medicated pledget can be pressed lightly with the fingertips to ensure it is firmly secured to the applicator. 
  • The medication can now be applied to all affected areas
    When applying the medication, avoid the eyes, mouth, abraded skin and mucous membranes. If the medication should get into the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water. 
  • For cleansing, an unmedicated pad may be attached to the EasyCling applique
  • After each use, remove and discard the ClindaReach medicated pledgets or EasyCleanse unmedicated pads
