A thin, washproof, adhesive barrier
Our Sterostrip Ultra transparent clear adhesive wound dressing is often referred to as a ‘second skin dressing’ because you can hardly tell it’s there when applied. The transparent polyurethane film is see-through and blends in with all skin tones. Underneath is an ultra-fine dressing pad that protects the wound area without sticking to it, and sits flush against the body.
Not only do clear wound dressings like this look unassuming, but the thin and flexible material makes it super comfortable to wear. This clear wound dressing is barely noticeable once applied, protecting the wound like a second skin that’s flexible and secure. This is a see-through dressing chosen by surgeons for areas like joints where a stiff or bulky dressing could be uncomfortable.
The washproof breathable wound dressing also gives the patient the freedom to bathe and shower, washing the area of their body without compromising the hygienic environment underneath the dressing. This is an excellent choice for patients who need to get on with life without being held back by a dressing.
11 Benefits of Using Sterostrip Washproof Adhesive Dressings
How to Use Sterostrip Ultra Transparent Film Dressings
- Prepare the Wound Area: Clean the wound carefully with mild soap and water. Pat the area dry with a clean towel, ensuring there’s no moisture around the wound.
- Ready the Dressing: Carefully remove the Sterostrip Ultra dressing from its sterile packaging. Avoid touching the adhesive side or the absorbent pad to maintain sterility.
- Application: Position the absorbent pad directly over the wound. Gently press the dressing onto the skin, starting from the centre and moving outwards. Smooth out the edges to secure the dressing and eliminate any air bubbles.
- Post-application: Once applied, inspect the dressing to ensure it’s sealed around the wound. The dressing is washproof, so you can now bathe or shower with confidence.
- Dressing Change: Replace the dressing as recommended by healthcare professionals or when it starts to peel away. To remove, gently lift the edge and peel back slowly, taking care not to disturb the wound
- Aftercare: Monitor the wound for signs of infection. If the condition of the wound changes or doesn’t improve, consult your GP.

- The wound is not healing or becomes more painful after a few days
