The strong adhesive ensures the tape stays put even during intense activity, giving you the confidence to perform at your best.
How to use
- Before application, ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free of oil or lotion; a clean wound is easier to treat and helps to avoid infection.
- Cut the Elastoplast Elastic Fabric Roll Plaster to the required length using a pair of clean scissors.
- Apply the adhesive side of the plaster directly onto the wound or onto the skin as support for sprains and strains.
- To ensure effective adhesion, press down firmly on the fabric plaster, especially on the edges. For optimal use, replace the plaster at least daily.
- If you're using it on a wound, change the plaster or dressing daily unless you’ve been recommended to do otherwise by your doctor.
- In case of wound care, always change plaster/dressing if it becomes wet, dirty or loosened.
- Note: This plaster is designed to provide support and comfort and to promote fast healing. However, if the wound becomes red, swollen or painful, or if these conditions worsen or last more than a week, stop using and consult a healthcare professional. Also, in cases of deep cuts, puncture wounds, animal bites, serious burns, or if you are allergic to the adhesive or fabrics used in these plasters, seek immediate medical attention.
