FAQs
Which Elastoplast plaster is best for a minor cut or graze?
Pick a plaster that fully covers the wound with a clean margin around it, and matches the body area and activity. For example, use finger strips for fingers, larger pads for knees and elbows, and waterproof options when you expect water exposure.
What’s the difference between waterproof and water resistant Elastoplast plasters?
Waterproof plasters are designed to provide stronger protection during contact with water (for example showering or swimming). Water resistant plasters may cope with light splashes, but may not be suitable for prolonged exposure.
Do Elastoplast sensitive plasters suit everyone?
Sensitive plasters are designed to be gentle on delicate skin and easier to remove. If you have a known adhesive allergy or develop redness, itching or irritation, stop using the product and ask a pharmacist for advice.
Can I cut Elastoplast fabric plasters or fabric strip dressings to size?
Some fabric formats can be cut to the size you need. Use clean scissors, avoid touching the pad area, and make sure the wound remains clean, dry and fully covered.
How often should I change a plaster?
Change it if it becomes wet, dirty or loose, or as directed on the packaging. Replace with a fresh plaster after cleaning and drying the area.
When should I speak to a pharmacist or GP about a wound?
Get advice if the wound is deep, won’t stop bleeding, is worsening, or shows signs of infection (increasing redness, swelling, heat, pain or discharge). Seek guidance sooner if you have a condition that can affect healing, such as diabetes or poor circulation.
Safety information: Elastoplast plasters and tapes are intended for minor wounds and everyday first aid use. Always follow the instructions on the pack. If you’re unsure what to use, symptoms worsen, or you suspect infection, speak to a pharmacist or your GP. For serious injury, significant bleeding, severe pain, or urgent concerns, contact NHS 111 or call 999 in an emergency.
