Hartmann Hydrofilm™ 10x15cm 10 dressings

It is very common to suffer cuts, scrapes or burns in our daily lives. If they are mild and do not require emergency medical attention, they should be properly cleaned with soap and water to disinfect them and covered with a dressing to protect them from possible external pathogens.

Hartmann Hydrofilm® is a semi-permeable dressing, i.e. impermeable to germs and water, but permeable to perspiration and with a hypoallergenic adhesive that helps to protect the wound safely.

Take care of your minor wounds with Hartmann Hydrofilm®!

Clean the wound properly and cover the affected area with a dressing.

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.
