FAQs
How long can I wear a Qualicare Sterile Spot Plaster?
It is recommended to replace the plaster every 24 hours, or sooner if it becomes wet, soiled, or if the wound requires a fresh dressing.
Are these plasters suitable for children?
Yes, they are suitable for children but should be applied under adult supervision.
Can I use these plasters on blisters?

What should I do if the plaster gets wet?
Replace the plaster with a new one as soon as possible to maintain protection and hygiene.

Where should I store these plasters?
Store the plasters in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure the packaging is intact until ready for use.
