Children

Before cleaning wounds or applying a dressing, hands should be washed thoroughly with soap and water or by using a cleansing tissue.
Clean the wound by rinsing it under cold running water if possible, carefully wiping away noticeable foreign material such as dirt or gravel. Do not try to remove embedded material that should be removed by a medical professional.
You should gently dry the area around the wound and you may use a gentle disinfectant. Apply a children's plaster on the wound.

It is one of the wound care myths that keeping minor cuts and grazes uncovered and letting air to them helps them to heal faster. But the contrary is true. Research shows that covered wounds heal more efficiently and have a reduced risk of infection. Elastoplast products provide protection until the wound is completely healed.

Usually, it is recommended to change the child's plaster daily due to hygienic reasons.

The Elastoplast Children’s plaster offers reliable protection. The plasters are dirt and water resistant and will also stick and protect the wound if the plaster comes into temporary contact with water.

The Elastoplast Children plasters are especially developed for the sensitive skin of children. They are very skin friendly and easy to remove. The colours used are resistant to saliva and sweat and are proven to be safe for children

Often it is the knees and elbows that are affected when children hurt themselves. The new Elastoplast Knee & Elbow plaster with its extra large wound pad and special shape has been developed for all round protection. The flexible material adjusts to the movement of knee and elbow. All plasters feature the friendly characters from Disney's Finding Nemo © to make sure small misfortunes are easily forgotten.

All children’s plasters are especially developed for the sensitive skin of children. The wound pad does not stick to the wound and the plasters are painless to remove.

No, they are not. The colours used are resistant to saliva and sweat and are proven to be safe for children
