FAQ

1. How often should I change the children's plasters?

Usually, it is recommended to change the children's plaster as any other standard first aid dressing daily due to hygienic reasons.

2. Is it better to let small wounds dry at the fresh air instead of putting on a plaster?

It is one of the wound care myths that keeping minor cuts and grazes uncovered and let air to them helps them to heal faster. The contrary is true! Research shows that covered wounds heal more efficiently and have a reduced risk of infection. Elastoplast products provide protection until the wound is completely healed.

3. When should I consult a doctor?

We recommend contacting a medical professional under the following circumstances:

if the wound is deep and causing major bleeding
if the wound shows signs of infection such as redness, warmth, pain and swelling
if there are embedded foreign objects in it
in case of animal or human bites
if the wound is in the area of the face
if there is insufficient tetanus vaccination
and of course always when you have questions or are uncertain.

4. What if my children's wounds get infected and suppurate?

You should contact a medical professional if you recognize signs of infection. This is not only the occurrence of pus but also swelling, redness, heat, pain, itching or burning. In case of infection the wound will need medical care and special medical treatment.

5. What plaster should I use for sensitive skin?

These Elastoplast MARVEL plasters are very skin-friendly and easy to remove. The colours used are resistant to saliva and sweat and are proven to be safe for children.
