What are Elastoplast Med Sensible dressings used for?
Elastoplast Med Sensible dressings are specially designed for sensitive skin, offering an optimal solution for covering and protecting medium to large wounds. These dressings are particularly suitable for use after minor surgery, providing effective protection while respecting even the most delicate skin.
Soft, breathable material: Made from a particularly soft, breathable material, these dressings guarantee maximum comfort when worn. Their airy design allows the skin to breathe, which is crucial for healing and maintaining skin health under the dressing.
Perfect adhesion and pain-free removal: The adhesive used on Elastoplast Med Sensible dressings is designed to adhere effectively to the skin without causing irritation or pain on removal. This makes these dressings particularly suitable for users with sensitive skin, or for applications on areas where the skin may be stretched or in motion.
Non-sticky, highly absorbent compress: At the heart of each dressing, a non-sticky compress absorbs wound exudates while remaining soft against the skin. This feature is essential to prevent pain during dressing changes and to protect the healing wound .
Sterility and softness: Each dressing is sterile, ensuring that no external pathogens compromise wound healing. They are extra soft, minimizing any risk of skin irritation and making daily use safer and more pleasant.
Latex-free: To avoid any risk of allergy, these dressings are made without latex, an important feature for people allergic or sensitive to latex.
In conclusion, Elastoplast Med Sensible dressings combine protection, comfort and technological innovation to offer an ideal solution for sensitive skin and post-surgical care. Their attention to detail meets the needs of the most demanding users, guaranteeing safety and peace of mind during the healing period.

Our advice and opinions from pharmacy experts
To care for a small wound, it's important to follow a few key steps to promote rapid healing and prevent infection. Here are a few practical tips:
- Clean the wound: Start by washing your hands with soap and water to avoid transferring bacteria to the wound. Rinse the wound with lukewarm water to remove dirt and debris. You can use a little mild soap around the wound, but avoid putting it directly into the wound to avoid irritating it.
- Disinfect: Apply a mild antiseptic to disinfect the area. Chlorhexidine- or povidone-iodine-based solutions are often recommended, as they are effective and generally well-tolerated. Apply the product carefully, following the instructions on the packaging.
- Protect the wound: Once the wound has been cleaned and disinfected, cover it with a sterile dressing. Choose a dressing that is large enough to cover the entire wound and that adheres well to the skin without sticking to the lesion. Change the dressing daily, or more often if necessary, especially if it becomes damp or dirty.
- Monitor progress: Keep an eye on the wound to make sure it's healing properly. If you notice any signs of infection, such as increased redness, warmth, swelling, pain or if pus starts to form, consult a doctor.
- Maintain good hygiene: Continue to maintain good hygiene by washing your hands regularly and keeping the wound clean and protected until it is completely healed.
- Moisturize and nourish the skin: After the wound has closed, use a moisturizing cream to help restore the skin barrier, and possibly a healing cream to reduce the risk of scarring.
By following these steps, you'll contribute to safe, effective wound healing.
