Wound plasters are essential tools in first aid and wound care. They provide protection against infections, promote healing, and are available in various designs to meet the needs of different wounds. In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about wound plasters, their applications, and the various products offered by Altruan to optimize your wound care.

What are wound plasters and why are they important?

Wound plasters are small, adhesive bandages designed to cover and protect minor injuries such as cuts, abrasions, and scratches. They typically consist of a breathable material with an absorbent wound pad that covers the wound and absorbs moisture. Applying a wound plaster protects the wound from dirt, bacteria, and further injuries, which accelerates healing and minimizes the risk of infection.

Benefits of using wound plasters

• Protection against infections: Wound plasters provide a barrier against dirt and bacteria, reducing the risk of infection and supporting wound healing.
• Promotion of healing: The breathable wound pad of a wound plaster allows controlled moisture release, accelerating skin healing.
• Versatile applications: Wound plasters are available in various sizes and shapes to meet the needs of different-sized wounds.
• Easy application: They are easy to apply and require no special knowledge, making them ideal for use at home, on the go, or in medical facilities.

Additionally, wound dressings are used to activate the healing process and protect the skin defect from bacteria and contamination. For some wounds or skin puncture sites, a wound dressing is sufficient to protect and cover the wound.
