Designed for small, everyday wounds, Elastoplast's Second Skin Protection range of Hydrocolloid dressings create a moist environment conducive to healing. Ultra-thin, flexible and waterproof, they hold even on mobile areas such as fingers or knees, while protecting the wound from impurities.
A cut on the finger, a scrape on the knee or a superficial wound on the elbow all have one thing in common: they heal better when they remain protected, clean and safe from external aggression. This hydrocolloid dressing has been designed to support the skin in these everyday situations, where a conventional dressing may have difficulty holding on or following movements.
Its hydrocolloid technology acts like an intelligent second skin. Imagine a protective microclimate enveloping the wound: moisture is maintained at the right level, enabling skin cells to regenerate more efficiently. This "healing capsule" creates conditions close to those of intact skin, promoting faster, more harmonious repair, just like a liquid dressing that hugs your damaged skin.
Extra-strong adhesion plays a key role in this process. By staying firmly in place, a well-adapted dressing avoids interruptions to healing caused by repeated rubbing or detachment. On a frequently used finger or a small wound exposed to movement, this stability makes all the difference.
Ultra-thin and twice as flexible as some conventional waterproof dressings, it hugs difficult areas such as joints. It bends, stretches and follows every movement without pulling on the skin, like an invisible protective film that follows your movements.
Completely waterproof yet breathable, it allows you to wash your hands or shower without fear. Water slides off the surface, while the wound remains isolated from dirt and bacteria. To reinforce this protection on a daily basis, it can be combined with gentle cleansing with a suitable antiseptic solution, to optimize the synergy between hygiene and healing.
Instructions for use
Start by stopping the bleeding and carefully cleaning the wound. Then remove the protective paper film, and place the dressing directly on the area to be protected. Apply firm pressure to ensure good adhesion, especially at the edges, for optimum protection, and finish by removing the application film identified by the red mark.
For use on the finger, first remove the backing film identified by the red mark. Apply the dressing to clean, dry skin, but don't apply too tightly to avoid impeding blood circulation. If you feel any numbness or tingling, remove it immediately. Within 24 hours, a white bubble may appear: this is a normal sign that healing is underway. Designed to be worn for several days, leave it in place until it begins to peel off on its own.
