Further Information:

• Silver nitrate chemically cauterises the skin, destroying unwanted tissue and helping to eliminate warts and verrucae.
• The treated area typically turns black as the skin dies, after which the dead tissue can be gently filed away using the emery board supplied.
• Before use, activate the pencil by swirling only the very tip in a single droplet of water for about 20 to 30 seconds, then apply that droplet to the treatment area without pressing on the tip.
• Avoid using too much water or pressure, as this can cause the pencil tip to break or dissolve.
• After each use, gently dry the pencil tip with a tissue to remove excess moisture and help prevent the tip from dissolving before the cap is replaced.
• If the pencil tip has disappeared, it has likely dissolved due to exposure to too much water or being stored while still wet.
• Avoca by Bray silver nitrate products are licensed for use in individuals of all ages, with no formal age restrictions.
• Healthcare feedback suggests that the lower strength 40 percent Avoca product is often preferred when treating very young infants.
