FAQs
How long does the protection last?
The duration of protection varies depending on the location and exposure to water or friction. Typically, the film lasts for several hours and will wear off naturally.
Can I use this on an infected wound?
No, this product is not intended for use on infected wounds. It is designed for clean, minor wounds to prevent infection.
How do I remove the spray plaster?
The film wears off on its own. To speed up removal, you can apply more spray plaster to soften the film, or gently soak the area in warm water.
Does it sting when applied?
Some users may experience a slight stinging sensation upon application, especially on open skin. This usually subsides quickly as the film dries.
Is it safe for children?
It can be used on minor wounds in children, but adult supervision is recommended during application to ensure proper use and avoid spraying near eyes or mouth.
Can I apply a regular plaster over it?
While the spray plaster provides a barrier, applying a regular plaster over it is generally not recommended as it may interfere with the breathability and the natural wearing-off process.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Please refer to the packaging for the expiry date. Store as directed to maintain product efficacy.
Troubleshooting
Spray does not come out
Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. Shake the can vigorously and try again. If the issue persists, the can may be empty or damaged.
Film feels sticky after application
Allow more drying time. Ensure only a thin, even layer was applied. Excessive application can lead to stickiness.
Skin irritation occurs
Discontinue use if irritation persists. Clean the area with mild soap and water and consider an alternative wound dressing. Consult a healthcare professional if the irritation is severe.
Waterproof seal is compromised quickly
Ensure the area was completely dry before application and that the film was applied evenly. Reapply if needed, ensuring proper drying time.
