1. Cleanse

Cleansing the wound from dirt and bacteria is an essential first step to enable optimal healing. To prevent wound infections, spray the Elastoplast Wound Spray from a distance of approximately 10 cm onto the entire wound area. Repeat if necessary, then gently dry the wound and surrounding skin area with a sterile compress

Important: A minor wound will soon stop bleeding. If it continues, apply more gauze pads, keep pressure on the wound and seek medical advice.

  • 1. Why would I use a plaster with a silver wound pad instead of a regular bandage?

    The use of silver has one big advantage: it reduces the risk of infection from the very beginning. Wound infections are the major cause of wound healing disturbances. And wound infections are not rare - up to 50% of acute wounds become infected! With a silver wound pad, you do the very best to prevent infection from occurring.
  • 2. Is there proof that silver works?

    Yes, there is. Silver has been used in hospitals for years. Many clinical studies demonstrate the benefits of silver.
  • 3. What kind of germs does silver kill?

    Silver is a clinically proven, broad spectrum antimicrobial agent. It kills nearly all relevant bacteria and fungi.
  • 4. Is Elastoplast MED+ with Silver Technology safe to use on children?

    Yes, it is. Unlike many other antiseptics, silver is very skin-friendly. Resistance to silver is extremely rare.
  • 5. I have diabetes, can I use Elastoplast MED+ with Silver Technology?

    Actually, Elastoplast MED+ with Silver Technology might be especially beneficial for you!
    Diabetics are more often affected by wound healing problems. Wounds take longer to heal and have a higher risk of infection. Silver as an effective and clinically established antiseptic ingredient reduces the risk of infection from the very beginning. For optimal wound healing, we recommend Elastoplast MED+ with Silver Technology plasters, that contain antiseptic silver that is released as soon as the silver ions come into contact with the wound fluid. Furthermore, all Elastoplast MED+ with Silver Technology plasters grant excellent skin compatibility.
  • 6. What is silver allergy?

    Silver's allergenic potential is extremely low. There exist only a few recorded cases of allergy in people who have been in constant contact with high concentrations of silver – for example silversmiths or silver miners. Most people who believe they have a silver allergy actually have an allergic reaction to nickel, because silver used for jewellery often contains nickel. Standardized testing confirmed that the Elastoplast MED+ with Silver Technology line with silver technology is skin-friendly.
  • 7. Is it necessary to use antiseptics/creams/ointments in combination with Elastoplast MED+ with Silver Technology products?

    No, it isn't. Elastoplast MED+ with Silver Technology plasters contain antiseptic effective silver that is released as soon as the silver ions come into contact with the wound fluid. Therefore, pre-treatment of wounds is not necessary. Using ointments and creams may actually decrease antimicrobial activity.
