When should you use Elastoplast Liquid Concentrate Dressing to protect a small, everyday wound?
Are you looking for an unobtrusive solution to protect a small cut? This Concentrated Liquid Dressing has been designed for minor, superficial, dry everyday wounds, such as scratches, light cuts, abrasions and chapped skin. Its fluid texture is perfectly suited to areas that are difficult to cover with a conventional bandage, such as fingers, joints or areas subject to repeated movement.
Once applied, the product dries quickly to form an invisible, supple and ultra-fine film. Imagine a drop of clear varnish hugging the skin: the liquid dressing works in the same way, creating a continuous, ultra-thin, flexible protective barrier, with no thickness and no sensation of discomfort. This protection helps isolate the wound from dirt and water, while leaving the skin free to move.
Unlike traditional dressings, which can peel off or restrict mobility, this protective film feels like a second skin. It naturally follows your daily movements, even during sports or outdoor activities. So you can keep moving without worrying about the protection shifting or deteriorating.
Its formula enables precise application, directly to the area concerned, without unnecessary contact. This precision is particularly appreciated for small, localized wounds, where you want to protect without overloading the surrounding skin. The result remains discreet, almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
For complete coverage, we recommend preparing the wound with Elastoplast Wound Spray before application. This cleansing step optimizes the adhesion of the protective film and reinforces the synergy between gentle cleansing and targeted protection.
How to use this Second Skin dressing?
Instructions for use
Start by stopping the bleeding if necessary, then thoroughly cleanse and dry the area. You can use a wound cleansing spray and a sterile compress to remove visible dirt and reduce the risk of infection. A clean, dry wound enables the liquid dressing to form an even, resistant film. Apply a thin layer directly to the wound and leave to dry for a few seconds, until the protective film has formed.

Expert advice
For optimum protection, always apply the liquid dressing to perfectly dry skin. If the area is frequently used, such as a finger or joint, avoid overloading with product: a thin layer is enough to create a protective film. In pharmacy practice, this type of dressing is particularly appreciated by active people, as it combines discretion, freedom of movement and continuous protection, without the constraints of a conventional dressing.
