Tiritas Plastic Aposito Cortar 6cmx1m

Wounds, no matter how minor, should be protected for better healing of the skin. Covering the injury prevents external contaminants from entering and potentially infecting it.

Whenever wounds leave the skin open, it is advisable to cover them with some dressing. Often, the area where the wound is located is one that tends to come into contact with water or dirt, so the choice of dressing is crucial to prevent it from coming off or getting wet, thus failing to provide the protection the wound needs.

Continuous Plastic Dressings are recommended for these types of situations. Their characteristics are:

• Breathable and hypoallergenic.
• Made with a waterproof and plastic material that prevents water and dirt from passing through.
• Allow you to continue with your daily tasks without stopping the protection of your skin.
• Are easily tolerated by the skin and have micro-perforations that allow the wound to breathe.
• Have a soft and highly absorbent pad for blood and secretions.

A complete dressing for daily life.

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.
