      How to use

      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.
      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.

      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.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      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.

      Good plaster but not water resistant

      The Elastoplast Fabric 40s come in a small compact box, in different sizes. They are easy to use, the plastic foil bits are easy to remove . The plaster itself is easy to place and fit on your wound, especially around fingers, as they are a bit stretchy and you can fit it just right. But, i do have to say, despite the fact its saying water resistant on the box, i can't confirm this. After having a cut on my finger, i used Elastoplast Wound Spray, Elastoplast Wound Ointment and put one of the Elastoplast Fabric 40s on, it was good fit, didnt come of, but after washing my hands, i tried not to get any soap and too much water on it, but it actually did losen. So i don't recommend it if you are looking for water resistant plasters, sadly. But besides that, i was very pleased to see if you dont get in contact with water, it does last and stay on place.
