Product Information
Full details
For individuals seeking a convenient and discreet wound care solution, the Elastoplast Second Skin Protection Liquid Plaster offers invisible, water-resistant protection for minor cuts, scratches, and grazes. Its primary benefit is providing a flexible, breathable seal that moves with the skin, unlike traditional plasters. A potential caveat is its suitability for superficial wounds only. This product features a quick-drying liquid formula that forms a protective film, ensuring 100% freedom of movement and keeping wounds safe from dirt and water.

FAQs
What kind of wounds is this product suitable for?
It is suitable for superficial wounds such as small cuts, scratches, grazes, and cracked skin.
Can I shower or swim with the liquid plaster on?
Yes, the liquid plaster is water-resistant, allowing you to shower or wash your hands normally. It is not recommended for prolonged submersion in water like swimming.
How long does the protection last?
The protective film typically lasts for several days, depending on wear and tear, and will eventually wear off on its own. It can also be removed sooner if needed.
How do I remove the liquid plaster?
The film will wear off naturally. If you need to remove it sooner, apply more liquid plaster over the existing film and gently wipe away, or use an oil-based product like baby oil.
Is this product suitable for children?
It can be used on children for superficial wounds, but adult supervision during application is recommended. Ensure the child does not ingest the product.
How many applications can I get from one tube?
One 10ml tube provides approximately up to 60 applications, depending on the size of the area treated.
Does it sting when applied?
Some users may experience a slight stinging sensation upon application, particularly on more sensitive or open wounds. This usually subsides quickly as the film dries.
Troubleshooting
Product does not dry quickly
Ensure you applied a thin, even layer. Thick applications may take longer to dry. Check that the ambient temperature is not excessively cold.
Skin irritation occurs after application
Discontinue use immediately. Clean the area gently with soap and water. Consult a healthcare professional if irritation persists.
Protective film peels off prematurely
Ensure the skin was completely dry and free of oils or lotions before application. Make sure the film extended slightly beyond the wound edges.
Difficulty applying to awkward areas
Use the applicator tip carefully. For hard-to-reach spots, consider applying to a small applicator stick or swab first, then transferring to the wound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the skin around the wound is clean and dry before application. For best results, trim any excess hair around the wound area. Open the tube, carefully apply a thin, even layer over the wound and slightly beyond its edges. Allow the liquid to dry completely (this usually takes less than a minute) before resuming normal activity.
Compatibility: This product is designed for use on intact skin to form a protective barrier and on superficial wounds such as scratches, cuts, and grazes. It is not intended for deep or heavily bleeding wounds. It is compatible with most skin types but discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Care: The protective film is water-resistant. You can shower or wash the affected area gently. The film will naturally wear off over time or can be removed if necessary. To remove, apply more liquid plaster over the existing film and gently wipe away, or use an oil-based product like baby oil.
