Elastoplast Waterproof Tough Plasters are over-the-counter heavy-duty adhesive wound dressings. A standard box contains 12 durable, waterproof plasters designed with Hi-DRY TEX technology and a central non-stick wound pad.
Applied directly over minor skin injuries, adults and children use them to protect small cuts, scrapes, grazes, and minor wounds against water, dirt, and bacteria during heavy work, outdoor activities, or sports.
These plasters combine flexible fabric durability with waterproof protection to keep wounds clean and dry:
Hi-DRY TEX Technology: Made from a heavy-duty, breathable fabric coated with a waterproof membrane that repels water and mud while allowing air to reach the skin.
Super-Strong Adhesive: Extra-strong adhesion keeps the plaster firmly in place even during physical labor, wet conditions, or active movement.
Non-Stick Wound Pad: Cushions the injury from painful bumps without sticking directly to the healing skin or blood clot.
🚨 Medical Warning: Do NOT apply to deep cuts, severe puncture wounds, heavy arterial bleeding, or infected wounds.
Deep, gaping, or heavily bleeding cuts require professional medical evaluation or stitches.
Clean the Wound First: Always clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin thoroughly before applying the plaster to avoid sealing in bacteria.
Change Regularly: Change the plaster daily, or immediately if the wound pad gets wet, dirty, or saturated with wound fluid.
Skin Irritation: Discontinue use if significant skin redness, itching, or irritation develops around the adhesive borders.
Clean: Gently wash the cut or graze with clean water or an antiseptic wash.
Dry: Pat the skin surrounding the wound completely dry with a clean towel or gauze (adhesive will not stick to wet skin).
Peel: Open the plaster wrapper and peel off the protective backing strips without touching the sterile central wound pad.
Apply: Place the absorbent pad directly over the wound and press down the adhesive borders firmly to seal out water and dirt.
Elastoplast Waterproof Tough Plasters are well-tolerated, but minor reactions can include:
Mild skin redness or sticky adhesive residue after removal.
Localized contact irritation in individuals with very sensitive skin or adhesive allergies.
Can I wear these plasters while showering or swimming?
Yes! The 100% waterproof membrane and extra-strong adhesive are specifically designed to stay sealed and keep the wound pad dry during showering, swimming, or working in wet environments.
How do I remove the plaster comfortably without pulling skin?
Because the adhesive is extra-strong, peel the plaster back slowly in the direction of hair growth while keeping it close to the skin. Applying a little warm water or baby oil to the edges can help loosen the adhesive if needed.
How should I store this pack?
Keep the box in a cool, dry place strictly below 25°C or 30°C, away from direct heat, moisture, and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
