How to use
- Cleanse the affected area: Before applying Elastoplast Fabric Extra-Flexible Dressing, ensure that the wound and surrounding area are properly cleaned to prevent infection. You can use warm water and mild soap if needed.
- Dry the wound: Before dressing, gently pat the wound dry, along with the skin around it. This will help the dressing to stick better.

- Secure the dressing: Smooth down the dressing from the middle outwards, making sure it is properly adhered to the skin all around the wound. This will also help to keep the dressing in place even when you are moving.
- 5, Replace when necessary: Change the dressing whenever it becomes dirty or wet to maintain a healthy healing environment.
- Always follow the manufacturer's instructions that come with the product packaging. If the wound doesn't begin to heal or gets worse, consult with a healthcare professional.
