Keep cuts and grazes covered with extra-large plasters
When standard plasters and dressings won’t cut it, use a large padded dressing for wounds. These large plasters come in two large sizes: 8.6cm x 6cm and 7cm x 6cm, giving you lots of room for complete protection while an injury heals.
Each large plaster is sterile to help you keep the area free from bacteria. They are also hypoallergenic, meaning you can use them even on sensitive skin. Because of this, our large plasters are excellent for use in schools, where children are more likely to have sensitive skin.
Our large plasters are designed to stay close to the skin and not get in the way of everyday actions and movements. The highly sticky adhesive holds on to the skin for as long as you wear the plasters. The material is flexible and pliable, moving easily with the body's motions.

Who uses adhesive wound dressings?
A sterile non-woven adhesive wound dressing is used to maintain a safe, clean environment in which a wound is protected from bacteria and damage from the outside elements. An adhesive sterile wound dressing allows the body to work on healing damaged tissues. The highly absorbent wound pad works well to draw exudate away from the area, keeping it dry and discouraging maceration.
Paediatrics
The skin-friendly, hypoallergenic adhesive makes an adhesive wound plaster dressing the number one choice for a child's sensitive skin, and they are highly recommended for use in schools, nurseries and by childminders.
The flexibility and durability of an adhesive foam wound dressing also help it stay in place on the skin despite children running around and playing.
Post-Operative
In beauty and healthcare generally, an adhesive wound dressing is often chosen as the ideal post-op wound dressing to protect an injury while it heals. Adhesive wound dressings are extremely easy and quick to apply, and the adhesive wound dressing pads don't adhere to the wound area, making frequent dressing changes minimally disruptive.
Veterinary
Veterinarians regularly use this type of adhesive wound dressing for dogs, cats, and other household pets, thanks to its high adhesive properties and ease of application. A vet might apply an adhesive wound dressing following stitches or cleaning a wound to prevent the animal from licking or scratching the area, keeping it safe from infection.
How to Use Steropore Adhesive Wound Dressings
Pre-Application Instructions
1. Ensure cleanliness: Before applying the dressing, ensure your hands are clean. If possible, wear a pair of disposable gloves for hygiene
2. Prepare the wound: Clean the wound and surrounding area gently with warm water and mild soap, then pat dry
Application Instructions
Open the packet: Remove the dressing carefully from its packaging, making sure not to touch the adhesive or wound pad.
Apply the dressing: Peel back one-half of the protective film. Position the dressing so that the absorbent pad covers the wound completely then remove the remaining protective film.
Check regularly: Gently press down on the edges of the dressing to ensure secure adhesion. Inspect the dressing regularly to ensure it is still in place and hasn't become soaked through with wound exudate.
Change the dressing: Replace the dressing as necessary, or every 2-3 days, or as advised by a healthcare professional.

- The wound is caused by a puncture or foreign object
- The wound is not healing or becomes more painful after a few days
- You notice redness, swelling, or pus, which might indicate an infection
- You have not been fully vaccinated against tetanus
- The wound is caused by an animal bite
