How to Use

1. Cleanse

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.

2. Heal

Want to help your wound heal even faster, and with a lower risk of scarring? Of course you do. Apply Elastoplast Wound Healing Ointment regularly until your wound has healed completely, applying a thin film one to two times per day. Just make sure the opening of the tube does not get in contact with your wound. Repeat regularly until the healing is completed. The Elastoplast Wound Healing Ointment can be used on open minor superficial wounds and at any stage of the healing process. If necessary, cover the wound with a bandage, dressing or compress.

3. Protect

Next, it’s important to protect the wound from bad stuff like dirt and bacteria to enable better healing. How do you do this? Easy! Cover your wound with the Elastoplast bandage that best suits your needs. Change the bandage daily unless you’ve been recommended to do otherwise by your doctor.
