FAQs

How long can I leave the plaster on?

These hydrocolloid plasters can typically stay on for up to several days, depending on the wound exudate and how well it adheres. Replace if it shows signs of leakage, detachment, or soiling.

Can I shower with this plaster on?

Yes, the plasters are 100% waterproof, allowing you to shower or wash your hands without needing to remove them.

Are these plasters suitable for blisters?

Yes, they are excellent for covering and protecting blisters on fingers, providing cushioning and a sterile environment for healing.

What should I do if the wound looks worse after applying the plaster?

Remove the plaster immediately and assess the wound. If there are signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus, increased pain), consult a healthcare professional.

Can I cut the plaster to size?

It is generally not recommended to cut hydrocolloid plasters, as this can affect their adhesive properties and sterility. Use the pre-shaped plaster as intended.

How do I dispose of a used plaster?

Dispose of used plasters in regular household waste. Ensure it is folded to prevent sticking to other items.

Troubleshooting

Plaster not adhering well

Ensure the skin is completely clean, dry, and free from oils or lotions. Press firmly around the edges for at least 30 seconds after application.

Difficulty removing the plaster

Gently wet the edges of the plaster with warm water or a suitable adhesive remover. Slowly peel it back from the skin. Avoid forceful pulling.

Skin irritation under the plaster

Remove the plaster immediately if irritation, redness, or discomfort occurs. Clean the area and allow the skin to recover. Avoid re-application if sensitivity is confirmed. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.

Plaster leaks or detaches prematurely

Check if the correct size was used and if the wound was fully covered. Ensure there are no wrinkles in the application. If leakage occurs, replace with a new plaster after cleaning the wound.

Cons

  • Single-use only, not reusable.

  • Can be more expensive than traditional fabric plasters.
  • Removal might require careful technique to avoid skin irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Ensure the skin around the wound is clean and dry before application. Carefully remove the protective film and apply the plaster directly to the wound, ensuring it adheres smoothly to the surrounding skin without wrinkles.

Compatibility: These plasters are suitable for use on minor cuts, abrasions, and blisters on fingers. They are designed for clean, dry wounds. Do not use on infected wounds or if you are sensitive to hydrocolloid materials. Consult a healthcare professional for deeper wounds or if irritation occurs.

Care: The plaster is waterproof and designed to stay in place for several days. Avoid unnecessary touching or peeling of the plaster to maintain its protective barrier. To remove, gently lift one edge and slowly peel the plaster away from the skin. If the plaster shows signs of leakage or detachment, or if the wound condition worsens, replace it. Dispose of used plasters properly.
