Frequently Asked Questions

  1. 1. How often should I change my plaster?

    For hygienic reasons, it is recommended that you change Standard First Aid Dressings daily.

  2. 2. Is it better to let small wounds dry at the fresh air instead of putting on a plaster?

    It is a commonly held myth about wound care that keeping minor cuts and grazes uncovered helps them to heal faster. The contrary is true! It is proven that covered wounds have a reduced risk of infection and heal more efficiently. Elastoplast plasters are the ultimate addition to your first aid supplies. They provide caring, antibacterial protection until the wounds are completely healed.

  3. 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 the case of animal or human bites
    • If the wound is in the area of the face


    Of course, whenever you have questions or are uncertain it is advisable to get in contact with a medical professional.

    • 4. What if my wound gets infected, swells, creates pus, or suppurates?

      You should contact a medical professional if you recognise any 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 my sensitive skin?

      If you have very sensitive skin we recommend using the Elastoplast Sensitive products. These plasters are especially developed for sensitive skin and are very skin friendly and hypoallergenic.

    • 6. Which Elastoplast plaster are waterproof and water resistant?

      The Elastoplast Aqua Protect Strips as well as the Heavy Duty Waterproof Fabric range are waterproof and will not go off while washing or showering. All Elastoplast Plastic plasters as well as the Junior plasters are water resistant.

    • 7. Where can I buy plasters for sensitive skin?

      Elastoplast Sensitive Plasters are available at your local pharmacy or grocery store.

    • Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your healthcare professional.

    Superglue sticky!

    I can’t understand why these are sold as extra skin friendly, the adhesive on them is so strong, taking the strip off, is incredibly hard and painful. On my elderly Mother, it actually tore her skin. Whilst I don’t get dermatitis from these, the skin is still irritated and I am left with glue residue on my fingers.

    Not for me

    I get the same allergic reaction as the standard type. VERY itchy, red inflamed skin that start to spread way beyond the wound. Settles down 20 mins after removal!

    Don't really seem skin friendly or "sensitive".

    After having a wound on some very sensitive skin- my nipple. I tried using these for a few days as the GP said I had to have it covered while the outside skin healed. First day, used three of the strips, changing as directed - was okay, only had a little discomfort. Second day, a lot more discomfort and visibly some skin taken off. Third day, replacing them was agony, I only did it once. Took me a solid 10 minutes to pull the strip off as it was so adhered to my skin. Left awful, peeled and irritated skin behind.
