URGO Waterproof plaster – large format is designed to protect superficial wounds, even during bathing and showering.
URGO Waterproof – large format provides optimal wound protection, even in contact with water.
Must be applied by an adult for those under 16 years of age.
1. Skin Preparation
- If necessary, shave the hair to ensure good adhesion of the plaster
- Disinfect the wound thoroughly, then rinse and dry carefully- Stop any bleeding if necessary
2. Applying the plaster: see application diagrams, steps 1 to 4
• Open the pouch aseptically and remove the plaster. Remove the protective tabs and position the plaster centred over the wound, without creating tension. The wound must be completely covered by the central plaster (white part).
• Smooth the plaster from the centre outwards to the edges.
• Remove the protective film.
3. Removing the plaster: for skin-friendly stretch removal, see step diagram 5
• Detach one edge by pulling tangentially to the skin (never perpendicularly) while applying counterpressure on the opposite edge.
Although superficial, small wounds require proper care and a clear treatment approach.
- First: clean the wound with clean water and disinfect it with an antiseptic. Then, rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Next: choose a dressing that protects against dirt and bacteria to prevent contamination.
- Finally: to heal without scarring, apply a healing dressing as soon as the wound stops bleeding.
Not suitable for children under 1 year of age. If there are foreign bodies in the wound, significant bleeding, a bite or a puncture from a sharp and/or contaminated object or if you see no improvement in healing after 6 days, consult your pharmacist or doctor
