FAQ

How does Second Skin Protection work? What are the benefits of Second Skin Protection plasters?

Second Skin Plasters are topped with a waterproof yet breathable polyurethane backing allowing you to swim, shower, and stay active without worrying about the plaster coming off, even when in contact with water. The hydrocolloid formula promotes faster healing through the innovative healing capsule technology, creating a moist environment for optimal healing.

Do the plasters contain (an) active ingredient(s)?

No, there is no ‘active’ ingredient in Second Skin Protection Plasters. Nevertheless, the hydrocolloid technology promotes faster healing compared to dry wound healing for optimal wound healing.

Why can the plaster be directly applied to the wound without any wound pad or compress?

Second Skin Protection plaster contain hydrocolloid particles that absorb fluid (exudate) from the wound. When the hydrocolloid dressing comes into contact with wound exudate, it forms a viscous gel that absorbs exudate but does not adhere to the wound. It can be visible as the ‘healing capsule’, a whitish/opaque bubble that can appear over the wound. The wound is kept moist while excess moisture evaporates through the semi-permeable top film.

Is it ok if the wound/ healing capsule turns yellow?

This inner hydrocolloid adhesive layer has particles which absorb exudate to form a hydrated gel over the wound. Forming the ‘healing capsule’ which you’ll see turn whitish-yellow. This creates a moist environment to promote healing and protects new tissue. Also, if the hydrocolloid dressing is removed with the bubble/ healing capsule present, the hydrocolloid is still liquified and might remain gel-like on the wound. This often has a yellowish appearance and indicates the mode of action/ healing process.

If in doubt, remove the plaster and seek medical advice.

For what types of wounds can I use Second Skin Protection?

It is intended to be used on minor everyday wounds. They can be used on abrasions, minor burns, blisters and blood blisters. They adapt to your movements, making it ideal for wounds in difficult-to-dress areas like knees, elbows, or fingers.
Do not use on deep, heavily bleeding or infected wounds, sensitive skin, very hairy skin or in case of known allergies to any of the ingredients e.g. glycerol ester of hydrogenated rosin resin, hydrocolloid, synthetic rubber, almond oil, polyurethane film. If in doubt, seek medical advice before using.
