Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is Invisible Protection so unique?
Elastoplast Invisible Protection is an innovative plaster that offers 100% transparent and discrete protection. The advanced technology uniquely combines an ultra-thin, elastic polyurethane backing with a transparent wound pad allowing for an aesthetic wound treatment especially when visual body parts are affected. At the same time the hydrocolloid technology allows for optimal healing conditions.
2. Is the plaster suitable for all kind of wounds?
Elastoplast Invisible Protection is suitable for minor wounds that have stopped bleeding heavily such as grazes, scratches or minor cuts like shaving nicks on face or legs. It also offers discrete wound protection after minor surgery e.g. after removal of moles.
3. How often should I change the plaster?
The plaster can be left in place for several days. If the wound does not show signs of infection such as heat, itching, swelling or burning, the wound healing process should not be interrupted by changing the plaster too often.
4. Does the product provide moist wound healing conditions?
Yes, the hydrocolloid technology of the wound pad creates an optimal, moist wound environment.
5. How can the plaster support the natural healing process?
Leaving wounds uncovered or using standard plasters and bandages usually leads into the formation of a scab known to slow down the healing process. The advanced Elastoplast Invisible Protection combines an ultra-thin, elastic backing with a hydrocolloid wound pad to support the natural healing process.
