Shower plaster

What is a shower plaster?

A shower plaster is a waterproof plaster specifically designed to protect wounds from moisture and bacteria. Unlike conventional plasters, it is made from a breathable yet water-repellent material that allows the skin to breathe while preventing water from penetrating. This keeps the wound dry and allows it to heal optimally.

Advantages of a shower plaster

• Waterproof and Breathable: Shower plasters are made from materials that prevent water from entering the wound while ensuring adequate ventilation. This reduces the risk of infections and speeds up the healing process.
• Flexibility and Comfort: The plasters adapt to the body's movements, providing high wearing comfort. They are thin and flexible, making them feel like a second skin.
• Easy Application: Shower plasters are easy to apply and can be easily applied to various parts of the body. They adhere reliably without irritating the skin and can be removed painlessly.
• Long-lasting Protection: Due to their robust nature, shower plasters offer long-lasting protection, even during daily activities such as showering, sports, or swimming.

Application and Tips

• Cleaning the Wound: Before applying the shower plaster, the wound should be thoroughly cleaned and dried to prevent infections. Depending on the type of wound, a Prontosan wound irrigation solution,is suitable, especially for chronic and poorly healing wounds. Octenisept skin antiseptic, on the other hand, is particularly suitable for cleaning and disinfecting surgical and acute wounds. As a combination, Octenisan wash lotion, a mild wash lotion, is suitable for hygienic body care.
• Choose the Right Size: Ensure that the plaster completely covers the wound and leaves enough margin around the wound to provide optimal protection. Also, consider that in many cases, a stock pack is suitable, so you have sterile shower plasters ready for longer-lasting wounds.
• Gentle Application: Carefully apply the plaster and ensure that no air bubbles form to maintain waterproofing.
• Gentle Removal: To remove a shower plaster, gently pull it off from one corner while keeping the skin taut to minimize pain and skin irritation. Remove the plaster slowly and evenly. Pay attention Make sure to pay attention to appropriate wound care afterwards. For particularly sensitive and delicate skin, Hansaplast Sensitive can be used. For normal skin types, Universal Plasters may suffice
