Washproof spot plasters / adhesive dressings

Description

Dependaplast Washproof Spot Plasters 2.2cm are small, round adhesive dressings designed to cover minor puncture wounds and post-injection bleeds. Each plaster is made from a super-thin, flexible washproof plastic film with a moisture vapour permeable membrane that allows the skin to breathe while acting as a complete barrier to water, viruses, bacteria and fungi. A rayon wound contact pad protects the wound, and a high-tech acrylic, low-allergy adhesive ensures secure fixation while being kind to the skin. Plasters are latex-free, sterile and individually wrapped for hygienic single use. Supplied as a box of 100 spot plasters (approx. 2.2cm diameter), they are ideal for use in vaccination clinics, GP practices, hospitals and first aid kits.

Bnefits

  • Moisture vapour permeable membrane allows the skin to breathe without physical perforations in the film.
  • Acts as a complete barrier to water, viruses, bacteria and fungi, helping to protect the wound from contamination.
  • High-tech acrylic adhesive provides a secure fixing while remaining skin friendly and low allergy.
  • Latex-free construction reduces the risk of latex-associated allergic reactions.
  • Sterile and individually wrapped to minimise infection risk and maintain hygiene at point of use.
  • Convenient 2.2cm round spot size ideal for covering injection sites and small puncture wounds.

Usage

  • Clean the wound and surrounding skin according to local wound care or injection site protocols.

  • Open the individual sterile pack immediately before use, avoiding contact with the adhesive surface.
  • Position the central wound pad directly over the puncture or small wound and press the plaster edges firmly onto the skin without stretching.
  • Check that the plaster is fully adhered and that the wound is completely covered.
  • Replace the plaster if it becomes loose, heavily soiled or wet, or according to local infection control guidelines.
  • Single use only; do not reuse plasters or re-sterilise.
