FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. How often should I change my plaster?

For hygienic reasons, it is recommended that you change Standard First Aid Dressings daily.

2. Is it better to let small wounds dry at the fresh air instead of putting on a plaster?

It is a commonly held myth about wound care that keeping minor cuts and grazes uncovered helps them to heal faster. The contrary is true!

• In the case of animal or human bites
• If the wound is in the area of the face

Of course, whenever you have questions or are uncertain it is advisable to get in contact with a medical professional.

4. What if my wound gets infected, swells, creates pus, or suppurates?
