Elastoplast plasters, tape and supports

Elastoplast plasters, dressings and blister care

Strips come in flexible fabric, plastic and extra tough waterproof styles, with Aqua Protect for washing, showering and swimming. Kids can choose Disney Frozen II, Marvel, Minions, Peppa Pig and Sesame Street designs. For bigger wounds, there are non-stick dressings, waterproof XL and XXL sterile dressings, cut to size rolls and a waterproof spray plaster. Blister plasters in small, large and XL use hydrocolloid technology. Healthdirect says a minor blister should heal in a week or two, and if possible it should be covered, protected and left alone.

Strapping tape, bandages and kinesiology tape

Rigid strapping tape comes in widths from 12.5 mm to 50 mm, and Elastoplast suggests pairing it with pre-taping underwrap and an elastic adhesive bandage, which it calls the UTB method. Cohesive compression bandages stick to themselves rather than to skin or hair. Healthdirect lists compression, wearing a bandage around the injury to stop swelling and bleeding, as part of RICE treatment for sprains and strains. Kinesiology tape comes in rolls in several colours and as pre-cut strips, and crepe, conforming and Leukoband bandages are also listed.

Supports, sleeves and heat packs

Advanced supports for the ankle, knee and wrist come in medium and large, alongside an Everyday Knee Support, adjustable Sport supports and a functional knee brace. Sport compression socks and arm and calf sleeves are sold in pairs. For heat and cold, there are Spiral Heat patches for the back, neck and other areas, a Sport Cold Spray and a reusable hot and cold pack. Our guide to aids for pain relief covers these in more depth.
