FAQs
Are these plasters waterproof?
No, they are breathable and permeable to air and moisture, meaning they are not intended for submersion in water.
Can I use these on deep wounds?
No, these are designed for minor cuts, grazes, and lacerations only. Consult a medical professional for deep or heavily bleeding wounds.
How often should I change the plaster?
You should change the plaster at least once a day, or immediately if the pad becomes soiled or wet.
Do these contain latex?
Leukoplast Soft White plasters are designed for sensitive skin, but please check the specific packaging batch for the most current material composition if you have a known latex allergy.
Will the pad stick to the wound?
No, the plaster features a low-adherent pad designed specifically to prevent sticking to the wound bed.
Troubleshooting
Plaster falling off prematurely
Ensure skin is completely clean, dry, and free of oils or lotions before application.
Difficulty removing the plaster
Gently soak the edges with warm, soapy water or baby oil to soften the adhesive before carefully peeling it back.
Pros and Cons

- Gentle adhesive reduces pain upon removal

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply, first clean the wound with a mild antiseptic or saline solution. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly; moisture will significantly reduce the adhesive's effectiveness. Peel back the protective paper and apply the pad directly over the wound without stretching the plaster. Press the adhesive edges firmly against the skin to create a seal. These plasters should be changed daily or whenever the dressing becomes soiled or wet to maintain a hygienic healing environment. Store the pack in a cool, dry place to ensure the adhesive remains effective until the expiration date.
