Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals and first aid kit managers seeking reliable wound coverings for frequent hand washing or wet environments. The key benefit is their strong adhesion and moisture-repellent design, ensuring better protection where it's most needed. A caveat is that the expiry date is not on individual plasters. The HypaPlast Pink Washproof Plasters are designed for daily use, offering secure adhesion due to their hypoallergenic and washproof material that resists moisture absorption. This pack contains 20 sterile, individually wrapped plasters in two sizes (7.2 x 2.5cm and 3.8 x 3.8cm) for versatile application, ideal for refilling existing first aid kits.

FAQs
Are these plasters suitable for children?
Yes, the hypoallergenic adhesive makes them suitable for children's sensitive skin. However, adult supervision is recommended during application and removal.
How do I know if the plaster is still sterile?
Each plaster is individually wrapped. Ensure the wrapper is intact before opening. If the wrapper is torn or damaged, do not use the plaster.
Can I reuse a plaster?
No, plasters are designed for single use only to maintain sterility and adhesion. A new plaster should be applied after removal.
What does 'washproof' mean for these plasters?
Washproof means the material of the plaster itself does not absorb water, allowing it to maintain its adhesive strength even when exposed to moisture or during hand washing.
Where is the expiry date located?
The expiry date is marked on the main box containing the 20 plasters, not on each individual plaster wrapper.
Can I use these on a deep cut?
These plasters are intended for minor cuts and abrasions. For deep or serious wounds, consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment.
Are the plasters breathable?
Yes, the plasters are designed to be breathable, allowing air to circulate around the wound while providing a protective barrier.
Troubleshooting
Plaster is not adhering well.
Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free from oils or lotions before application. For optimal adhesion in wet conditions, pat the skin dry thoroughly.
Skin irritation occurs after use.
Remove the plaster immediately. Clean the area gently. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional. Try a different type of plaster if frequent use is necessary.
Plaster feels too restrictive.
Ensure you are using the appropriate size for the wound. For larger areas, consider using multiple smaller plasters or a larger wound dressing.
