Troubleshooting
Plaster does not adhere well
Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free from lotions or oils before application. Press firmly for a few seconds after application.
Skin irritation occurs after use
Remove the plaster immediately. Clean the area gently. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Consider using a different type of dressing.
Antiseptic pad feels insufficient
These plasters are designed for minor wounds. For deeper wounds or signs of significant infection, consult a healthcare provider for appropriate treatment.
Plaster has lost its stickiness
