Antibacterial Waterproof XL/XXL: sterile plaster with antibacterial silver

Elastoplast Antibacterial Waterproof XL and XXL plasters are sterile wound dressings for waterproof protection of medium to large everyday wounds. They are suitable after minor surgery.


With their waterproof, flexible film and strong adhesion, the plasters are ideal for washing, showering, bathing and swimming. The extra-large wound pad contains antibacterial silver for optimal healing conditions. Silver is recommended by experts for its broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, which reduces the risk of infection.

 
The plasters are available in two sizes, which seal all around the wound to prevent contamination: 
  • XL – 6 x 7cm
  • XXL – 8 x10 cm
The antiseptic silver wound pad is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria and reduces the risk of infection.

How to use

Clean the wound and gently wipe away any foreign objects such as dirt or grit.
Dry the skin around the cut or graze very carefully.

Apply plaster without stretching, and avoid creases.

Use each plaster only once.
For optimal healing, do not use topical preparations in conjunction with silver as they may reduce its antibacterial effect.

Silver Healing

1. Why would I use a plaster with a silver woundpad instead of a regular plaster?

The use of silver has one big advantage: it reduces the risk of infection from the very beginning. Wound infections are the major cause of wound-healing disturbances. And wound infections are not rare – up to 50% of acute wounds become infected! With a silver woundpad, you do the very best to prevent infection.

2. Is there proof that silver works?

Yes, there is. Silver has been used in hospitals for years, and many clinical studies demonstrate the benefits of silver.

3. What kind of germs does silver kill?
Silver is a clinically proven, broad spectrum antimicrobial agent. It kills nearly all relevant bacteria and fungi.
4. Is Elastoplast Antibacterial Waterproof with Silver Technology safe to use on children?

Yes, it is. Unlike many other antiseptics, silver is very skin friendly. Resistance to silver is extremely rare.

5. I have diabetes. Can I use Elastoplast Antibacterial Waterproof with Silver Technology?

Elastoplast Antibacterial Waterproof with Silver Technology is especially beneficial for you.

You may know that diabetes is a disease that frequently causes wound-healing problems. Wounds take longer to heal and have a higher risk of infection. This is where silver steps in: it reduces the risk of infection from the very beginning.

For optimal wound-healing, we recommend Elastoplast Antibacterial Waterproof with Silver Technology plasters, which contain antiseptic effective silver – released as soon as the silver ions come into contact with the wound fluid. Furthermore, all Elastoplast Antibacterial Waterproof with Silver Technology plasters offer excellent skin compatibility.

6. What is silver allergy?

Silver's allergenic potential is extremely low. There exist only a few recorded cases of allergy in people who have been in constant contact with high concentrations of silver – for example, silversmiths or silver miners. Most people who believe they have a silver allergy actually have an allergic reaction to nickel, because silver used for jewellery often contains nickel. Standardised testing confirmed that the Elastoplast Antibacterial Waterproof with Silver Technology line with silver technology is skin-friendly.

7. Is it necessary to use antiseptics/creams/ointments in combination with Elastopalst Antibacterial Waterproof with Silver Technology products?
No, it isn't. Elastopalst Antibacterial Waterproof with Silver Technology plasters contain antiseptic effective silver that is released as soon as the silver ions come into contact with the wound fluid. Therefore, pre-treatment of wounds is not necessary. Using ointments and creams may actually decrease antimicrobial activity.
