Full details
This guide is for anyone needing a quick and easy alternative to traditional plasters, especially those with sensitive skin. Easiplaster offers adhesive-free wound care, providing a comfortable and secure dressing that sticks to itself, not to the skin or hair. A key caveat is that while it is washproof, it's not designed for submersion in water for extended periods.

It is best suited for minor cuts and abrasions. For deeper wounds or those requiring specialized care, consult a healthcare professional.
Is Easiplaster waterproof?
It is washproof, meaning it will stay in place when wet, but it is not designed for prolonged submersion in water.
What is the shelf life of Easiplaster?
Check the packaging for the expiration date.
Can Easiplaster be used on children?
Yes, it is generally safe for use on children, but always supervise application and ensure it is not too tight.
What is the adhesive made of?

How do I store Easiplaster?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Easiplaster doesn't stick properly.
Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. Make sure the tape is applied directly over the wound and that it is sticking to itself.
The dressing feels too tight.
Reapply with less tension. Avoid wrapping too tightly.
Skin irritation.
If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure it is latex-free if the user has a known latex allergy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Easiplaster requires no special setup. Simply unwrap and tear off the required length. Place the tape directly over the wound, ensuring it covers the entire area. Apply gentle pressure to secure the dressing. For larger wounds, multiple layers can be applied. The material is compatible with most skin types, but always check for allergic reactions. No special care is needed. Simply replace the dressing when it becomes soiled or loose. Avoid over-tightening the tape, as this may restrict blood flow.
