What can Steroflex Stretch Fabric Plasters be used for?

How to use the Steroflex Stretch Fabric Plasters

1. Clean and Dry the Wound: Before applying the plaster, it's essential to clean and dry the wound and the surrounding skin to prevent infection and ensure the plaster adheres properly.
2. Unwrap the Plaster: Carefully unwrap the plaster. Hold it by the protective strips with the pad side facing downwards, avoiding contact with the adhesive side to maintain sterility.
3. Peel Back the Strips: Gently peel back the protective strips from the plaster, but do not remove them entirely. This will expose the adhesive while still allowing you to handle the plaster without touching the sticky surface.
4. Position the Pad: Carefully place the pad directly on the wound. The pad should cover the wound completely, providing a cushion and protection against further injury.
5. Secure the Plaster: Once the pad is positioned correctly, pull away the remaining strips and press down the edges of the plaster firmly. Ensure the plaster is smooth and secure around the wound for maximum protection and comfort.

When to Seek Medical Assistance

It is crucial to monitor your wound for any signs of infection. If you observe any of the following symptoms, it's important to seek medical advice promptly:

• Redness or Soreness: If the skin around your wound becomes red, sore, or both.
• Heat and Swelling: Noticeable heat and swelling in the area surrounding the wound.
• Discharge: The presence of liquid, especially green or yellow pus, oozing from the wound.
• Reopening of the Wound: If the wound that was healing opens up again.
• Feeling Unwell or Feverish: Experiencing general feelings of unwellness or having a temperature, which may indicate a fever.

In the event of these symptoms, or if you have any concerns about your wound, it is essential to contact your hospital doctor or a GP without delay. Timely treatment of infections is critical to prevent them from worsening. Remember, your health and safety are paramount, and professional medical advice should always be sought in these circumstances.
