FAQs
How often should I change the plaster?
Change the plaster at least once a day, or more frequently if it gets wet, dirty, or the pad becomes saturated.
Can I use these plasters on blisters?
Yes, but ensure the blister is cleaned properly first. Monitor for signs of infection and seek medical advice if necessary.
Are these plasters latex-free?
The product description does not specify if the plasters are latex-free. Check the packaging for this information if you have a latex allergy.
What should I do if the plaster is difficult to remove?
Soak the plaster in warm water to loosen the adhesive, then gently peel it off. Avoid pulling the plaster off quickly, which can damage the skin.

The pack contains four assorted sizes to suit a variety of cuts and grazes. The exact sizes are not specified in the provided product information.

Store the plasters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
What if the wound gets infected?
If you notice signs of infection (increased pain, redness, swelling, pus), remove the plaster and seek medical advice immediately.
Troubleshooting
Plaster won't stick properly.
Ensure the skin around the wound is clean, dry, and free of lotions or oils before applying the plaster. Press the edges firmly to ensure adhesion.
Plaster causes skin irritation.
Discontinue use and try a hypoallergenic plaster. Clean the area gently and consult a healthcare professional if irritation persists.
Plaster gets wet quickly.
Replace the plaster as soon as it gets wet. Consider using a waterproof plaster for activities involving water.

To care for the plaster: replace it daily or more often if it becomes wet or dirty. If the plaster is difficult to remove, soak it in warm water to loosen the adhesive. Avoid pulling the plaster off quickly, which can damage the skin. For sensitive skin, consider using a hypoallergenic plaster or applying a barrier cream before application.
