Product Information

Full details

The Dependaplast Washproof Plasters are designed primarily for high-traffic environments like schools, nurseries, or family homes where frequent wound care for children is necessary. They offer the key benefit of a moisture-vapour permeable membrane that protects against external contaminants while allowing the skin to breathe, making them both durable and comfortable. One caveat for users is that while they are highly effective for minor injuries, the character designs are specifically aimed at pediatric use and may not be suitable for professional or clinical settings requiring discreet, sterile-toned dressings.

FAQs

Are these plasters sterile?

Yes, Dependaplast Washproof Plasters are sterile and designed to maintain a clean environment around the wound.

Can adults use these plasters?

Yes, although they feature child-friendly patterns, they are functional medical dressings that can be used by anyone, provided the size is appropriate for the wound.

How often should I change the plaster?

It is recommended to change the plaster at least once a day, or immediately if the pad becomes wet or soiled.

Are they latex-free?

The adhesives used are low-allergy; however, please check the specific packaging batch if you have a confirmed severe latex allergy.

Will these fall off in the pool?

These are designed to be washproof and should remain secure during brief periods in the water, though prolonged submersion may eventually weaken the adhesive.

What does 'moisture vapour permeable' mean?

It means the material allows air and water vapour to pass through, which helps the skin breathe and prevents the area from becoming overly moist.

Troubleshooting

Plaster peeling off too quickly

Ensure the skin is completely free of oils, lotions, or soap residue before application.

Adhesive leaves residue on skin

Gently wipe the area with a small amount of baby oil or a medical adhesive remover to dissolve the remaining glue.

Plaster is difficult to remove

Soak the plaster in warm water for a minute to soften the adhesive before attempting to peel it away from the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from these plasters, follow these simple usage and care guidelines:

  1. Skin Preparation: Clean the area around the wound with an antiseptic wipe and pat the skin completely dry. The adhesive will not bond effectively to damp, oily, or lotion-covered skin.
  2. Application: Remove the protective backing and place the absorbent pad directly over the wound. Smooth the edges down firmly to create a secure seal.
  3. Removal: When changing, peel the plaster back slowly at an angle. If the adhesive is stuck firmly, dampen the edges with warm water to release the bond gently.
  4. Storage: Keep the unused bulk stock in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the adhesive for the full 1000-count duration.
