Elastoplast® Fabric Plasters 20 Strips

These fabric plasters are a convenient way to protect all types of small wounds. Durable with a strong adhesive which seals all around the wound, they stay in place to form a protective barrier around cuts and grazes. Made from a flexible and breathable fabric, they keep out external contaminates such as dirt and grit whilst still allowing air to reach the wound for optimised healing and comfort. The non-stick wound pad forms a protective cushion to help guard wounds against bumps and scrapes. With two different sizes in every pack, there is a plaster for every situation.

It is a myth that keeping minor cuts and grazes uncovered and letting the air get to them helps them to heal faster. In fact, the reverse is true: Research shows that covered wounds heal more efficiently and have a reduced risk of infection. This is because standard dressings and band aids protect the wound from external influences and prevent contamination. They also ensure the absorption of blood and other fluids as well as improving comfort. These fabric plasters provide protection from potentially damaging foreign bodies until the wound is completely healed
