Dermomed fix 6 dressings 7.5 x 5cm

It is rare to find a first aid kit that does not contain some sterile adhesive bandage. The main function of these is to protect wounds to promote their proper healing while preventing infections.

An example is this Dermoned fix bandage measuring 9x5 cm. Its fabric is flexible and adapts to the body's movements thanks to its strong adhesive that keeps it in place. However, it can be easily removed without pain with a gentle motion.

This bandage is suitable for covering:

• Cuts
• Sutures
• Lacerations
• Postoperative wounds

Additionally, it is air-permeable and water vapor-permeable.

Plasters, adhesive bandages or dressings are patches that have a sterile gauze pad in the centre, surrounded by an area that sticks to the skin. They are used to protect open wounds, prevent infection and facilitate the healing process.

There are different types of plasters depending on the type of injury. To choose the right dressing, you need to consider the conditions the wound will be subjected to. They come in multiple sizes, materials, colours, flexibility, and can even be water-resistant. They may also have an additional ingredient with antiseptic properties to ensure a better healing process.

It is essential to clean the wound with water and soap, disinfect it and carefully dry the area with a sterile gauze before applying a dressing to any type of wound. Afterwards, simply remove the protective elements and make sure that the gauze pad, not the adhesive part, completely covers the wound.

Remember that the dressing is intended to protect the skin until it forms a protective scab. Unless the wound is in a rubbing area, it is preferable to remove the plaster once the scab has formed so that it can heal completely.

Please note that plasters are only indicated for blistering or minor bleeding. If the wound is very large or deep, you should consult your doctor, who will be able to assess how you should to proceed.
