FAQs

Are these plasters waterproof?

They are water-resistant, meaning they help repel water. However, prolonged exposure to water may affect adhesion.

How often should I change the plaster?

Change the plaster at least once a day, or more often if it becomes wet, dirty, or the pad is no longer covering the wound.

Can I use these plasters on children?

Yes, these plasters are suitable for use on children. Always supervise the application and removal.

What should I do if the wound gets infected?

If you suspect an infection (increased pain, redness, swelling, pus), remove the plaster and seek medical advice immediately.

Are these plasters latex-free?

Please check the product packaging for specific material information.

What sizes are included in the pack?

The pack contains a variety of sizes to suit different wound sizes. Please refer to the packaging for specific size details.

Can I reuse a plaster?

No, plasters are designed for single use. Always discard a used plaster and apply a fresh one.

Troubleshooting

Plaster is not sticking properly.

Ensure the skin around the wound is clean and dry before application. Press firmly on the edges of the plaster after application.
