FAQ

1. How often should I change my plaster?

Usually, it is recommended to change Standard First Aid Dressings daily due to hygienic reasons. Some advanced plasters such as the Fast Healing Plaster that provide moist wound healing conditions are recommended to be left in place for up to two days or more in order not to interrupt the healing process.
In case of post-operative wounds follow your doctor’s recommendations.

3. When should I consult a doctor?

We recommend contacting a medical professional under the following circumstances:

if the wound is deep and causing major bleeding
if the wound shows signs of infection such as redness,
warmth, pain and swelling
if there are embedded foreign objects in it
in case of animal or human bites
if the wound is in the area of the face
if there is insufficient tetanus vaccination

and of course always when you have questions or are uncertain.

4. What if my wound gets infected and suppurates?

You should contact a medical professional if you recognize signs of infection. This is not only the occurrence of pus but also swelling, redness, heat, pain, itching or burning. In case of infection the wound will need medical care and special medical treatment.

5. Which plaster should I use for larger wounds with my sensitive skin?

If you have sensitive skin, we recommend using the Elastoplast Sensitive XL/XXL/3XL/4XL or Ultra Sensitive XL/XXL which are extra skin friendly and ensure pain free removal.
