Elastoplast Antibacterial Sensitive XXL sterile wound dressings protect larger wounds and are suitable after minor surgery. 

The skin-friendly and breathable material adheres securely to your skin, but it is still painless to remove. 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 XXL dressings (8 x 10 cm) seal all around the wound to prevent contamination. XL (6 x 7 cm) also available.

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 10cm 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.

Silver Healing

1. Why would I use a dressing with a silver wound pad instead of a regular bandage?

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 wound pad, you do the very best to prevent infection from occurring.

2. Is there proof that silver works?
Yes, there is. Silver has been used in hospitals for years. 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 with Silver Technology safe to use on children?

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

5. I have diabetes. Can I use Elastoplast Antibacterial with Silver Technology?
Actually, Elastoplast Antibacterial with Silver Technology might be especially beneficial for you! Diabetics are more often affected by wound healing problems. Wounds take longer to heal and have a higher risk of infection. Silver as an effective and clinically established antiseptic ingredient reduces the risk of infection from the very beginning.

For optimal wound healing, we recommend Elastoplast Antibacterial  with Silver Technology plasters, that contain antiseptic silver that is released as soon as the silver ions come into contact with the wound fluid. Furthermore, all Elastoplast Antibacterial with Silver Technology plasters grant excellent skin compatibility.
6. What is silver allergy?

Silver's allergic 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 confirms that all Elastoplast Antibacterial with Silver Technology products are skin friendly.

7. Is it necessary to use antiseptics/creams/ointments in combination with Elastoplast Antibacterial with Silver Technology products?
No, it isn't. Elastoplast Antibacterial 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.
