Help your wound to heal safely and with a reduced risk of scarring by applying Elastoplast Wound Healing Ointment regularly until your wound has healed completely. This ointment can be used on open, minor superficial wounds at any stage of the healing process. If necessary, the wound can be covered with a Elastoplast standard plaster, such as Fabric, Elastic Fabric Roll, Heavy Fabric or Antibacterial.
