Hi-DRY TEX Technology

Elastoplast developed this three-layer technology for improved wound protection.

The flexible fabric ensures not only utmost comfort for you, but also protection from moisture and water for your wound.

Application

How to use

1. Cleanse

Cleansing the wound from dirt and bacteria is an essential first step to enable optimal healing. To prevent wound infections, spray the Elastoplast Wound Spray from a distance of approximately 10 cm onto the entire wound area. Repeat if necessary, then gently dry the wound and surrounding skin area.

Important: A minor wound will soon stop bleeding. If it continues, apply more gauze pads, keep pressure on the wound and seek medical advice.

2. Protect

Next, it’s important to protect the wound from external influences like dirt and bacteria to enable undisturbed healing. Cover your wound with a sterile wound dressing that best suits your needs. Observe your wound and change the plaster or dressing regularly unless you’ve been recommended to do otherwise by your doctor. You might find this wound dressing know-how article useful.

3. Heal

Help your wound heal safely, quickly and with a lower risk of scarring. Apply Elastoplast Wound Healing Ointment regularly until your wound has healed completely. Carefully apply a thin film one to two times per day. Make sure the opening of the tube does not get in contact with your wound. Repeat regularly until the healing is completed. The Elastoplast Wound Healing Ointment can be used on open minor superficial wounds and at any stage of the healing process. If necessary, cover the wound with a plaster, dressing or compress.

FAQ (7)

1. How often should I change my plaster?

Usually, it is recommended to change standard first aid dressings daily due to hygienic reasons. Some advanced plasters such as the Fast Healing Plaster that provide moist wound healing conditions are recommended to be left in place for up to two days or more in order not to interrupt the healing process.
2. Is it better to let small wounds dry in the fresh air instead of putting on a plaster?

It is one of the wound care myths that keeping minor cuts and grazes uncovered and let air to them helps them to heal faster, however 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.
3. When should I consult a doctor?
We recommend contacting a medical professional under the following circumstances:
- if the wound is deep and causing major bleeding
- if the wound shows signs of infection such as redness, warmth, pain and swelling
- if there are embedded foreign objects in it
- in case of animal or human bites
- if the wound is in the area of the face
- if there is insufficient tetanus vaccination
- and of course always when you have questions or are uncertain.
4. What if my wound gets infected and suppurates?

You should contact a medical professional if you recognise signs of infection. This is not only the occurrence of pus but also swelling, redness, heat, pain, itching or burning. In case of infection the wound will need medical care and special medical treatment.
5. Which plaster should I use for my sensitive skin?

If you have very sensitive skin we recommend using the Elastoplast Sensitive or Elastoplast Sensitive Kids products. These plasters are especially developed for sensitive skin and are very skin-friendly and hypoallergenic.
6. Which Elastoplast plaster are waterproof and water resistant?

The Elastoplast Aqua Protect and Aqua Protect XL/XXL strips as well as the Fast Healing Plasters are waterproof and will not go off while washing or showering. The Elastoplast Fabric range is water-repellent. The material keeps water on the surface where it beads off. All Elastoplast Water Resistant plasters as well as the Junior plasters are water-resistant.
7. Which plasters do you recommend for wounds on fingers?

For injuries and wounds on hands and fingers, we recommend our special Elastoplast Finger Strips. These plasters are extra long so that they stick perfectly on fingers.

Disappointed

Bought a box of 18 Fabric Waterproof plasters for simple first aid use. I deliberately paid a little more to have a brand leader as other products don't stick well etc. The first time I used one I was very pleased with the actual product butcher was a major let down in being able to get the plaster out of it's hygienic package. Bearing in mind if you need a plaster yourself and no one is about then you may be doing this whilst not have fun use of both hands. So if you have no help it os even worse. Having finally managed to open the paper sachet (hard to separate it from the one it is joined to as well!) it was then difficult to extract the plaster from its own sleeve. Had exactly the same problem when needed again a few weeks later for my boy's knee when I had full mobility in both hands. Great product but disproportionally difficult to use.

Opening the protective sleeve.

They are very difficult to open. Why don't you include some instructions or better still, make them user-friendly!!

Not Sticky Enough!

Accidentally bought these instead of the Extra Flexible Fabric ones, needless to say the adhesion of these ones are so bad they come right off! I use the larger size for the back of my heels to protect from blisters in the summer, the Extra Flex ones stay on for days, but these ones were coming off after just a few steps?! I also find if I have one of the smaller size ones on a finger, it doesn't stick to itself very good and starts to peel off if it gets wet. They feel very cheap and flimsy in comparison to the Extra Flexible, will definitely pay more attention to which ones I'm buying in the future.
