At Steroplast, we know a thing or two about what plasters go through on kids’ skin. Years of product development, testing, and feedback have taught us exactly what we need to prepare our plasters for if they’re going to be up to the job.
We design our kids’ plasters to offer complete protection in the face of water, dirt, mud, outdoor adventures, and the most chaotic of playtimes. Rest assured, any little cuts or grazes are staying clean and safe until they heal. We also know it’s important our kids’ plasters are tested to be hypoallergenic and contain as few allergens as possible. As such, we know they’re suitable for delicate young skin and minimise the chance of irritation.
When it comes to removing our kids’ plasters, there’re no tears because they come off with minimal pain. We even stock Leukoplast superhero plasters to give kids the courage they need after a scrape.

Skin irritation from plaster adhesive is very common. We know that many adults and most children have a reaction to some plasters, particularly low-quality ones. That’s why we always put the effort in to make sure our products are reliable, safe, and accessible to everyone.
There’s no standard brands must meet for products to be termed hypoallergenic. So what does that mean? We biotest our products for compatibility and put them through rigorous risk assessments to ensure they are as low-allergen as we can possibly make them. None of our hypoallergenic plasters contain latex, and we design them to be comfortable and painless to remove.

Do plasters expire? Yes, although plasters are likely to have a shelf life of over a year, they still have a use-by date. You will find the expiry date of your plasters on the product or packaging. Good quality plasters will be printed with serial numbers and expiration dates to help you keep track of use-by dates and rotate your stock or supplies.
#1 Which? recommended fabric plasters by Steroplast have a sterility guarantee of five years provided they are stored correctly, and the wrappers are undamaged.
This is because the adhesive and the material used to make the plaster will degrade over time, compromising their ability to sufficiently stick to the skin and provide complete protection to a wound.
Degradation of the packaging can also occur, which could lead sterile plasters to become unsterile. Since sterile plasters are a requirement in environments like healthcare facilities, out-of-date plasters can be a problem.
How do plasters work to help wounds get better? Plasters have four fundamental functions:
Plasters are available in different colours and designs. Sometimes these designs are purely aesthetic such as cartoon design plasters for children. Generally, the most common plaster colour for cuts and sores is pink or nude coloured. These are standard plasters for general use.
Blue plasters should be used in food handling environments as they are highly visible in contrast to the colours of food, whereas pink plasters might not be spotted if they fall off.
Plasters provide an optimal environment for a wound to heal. Using a plaster will protect the wound from further damage or infection.
Some brands sell special plasters that claim to get rid of verrucas, but the advice from the NHS on verrucas is that these are not guaranteed to work. They’re also known to sometimes be painful or time-consuming. How do verruca plasters work? Verruca plasters are medicated with an active ingredient that is claimed to kill the verruca, while the physical plaster protects from the elements.
If you have a verruca that is causing discomfort, we recommend a padded foam plaster to cushion the area and absorb some of the impact when you walk.
