Salvequick Plasters

When choosing plasters, it's crucial to consider the material. Plasters come in a variety of materials, including fabric, plastic, and waterproof options. Fabric plasters are flexible and breathable, making them ideal for joints or areas that require movement. Plastic plasters offer a smooth surface and are often more durable against daily wear. If you're frequently exposed to water, waterproof plasters are your best bet to ensure they stay intact and effective. Always think about where you'll be using the plaster to make the right choice.

Plasters come in different sizes and shapes to cater to various types of wounds. For small cuts or grazes, standard rectangular plasters usually suffice. However, for larger wounds or awkward areas like fingertips or knuckles, consider specialized shapes such as butterfly closures or fingertip plasters. Having a variety of sizes in your first aid kit ensures you're prepared for any minor injury.
