We're in the business of keeping wounds squeaky clean. Because cleansing the wound from dirt and bacteria is an essential first step to enable optimal healing. To help prevent wound infections, spray the Elastoplast Wound Spray from a distance of approximately 10 cm onto the entire wound area. Repeat if necessary, then allow the wound and surrounding skin area to dry. Important: A minor wound will soon stop bleeding. If it continues, apply more gauze pads, keep pressure on the wound and seek medical advice.
