Each sterile plaster uses a thin, flexible PU film with a low allergy acrylic adhesive. The film lets moisture vapour escape, so the skin can breathe without perforations in the plaster.
Fabric and perforated plasters soak up water, then lift at the edges after a few hand washes. On site or in a workshop, that means replacing plasters several times a day. These plasters use a washproof film with no holes, so they stay in place through hand washing while still letting the skin breathe.
Washproof PU film: stays in place through hand washing during the working day.
Moisture vapour permeable: lets the skin breathe without perforations that let water in.
Low allergy acrylic adhesive: holds securely while being gentler on sensitive skin.
Clear and thin: discreet on hands and fingers, and flexes as the hand moves.
Assorted sizes: one pack covers fingertips, knuckles and larger grazes.
Sterile: each plaster is a sterile adhesive dressing.

First aiders and facilities teams buy assorted plasters to restock workplace first aid kits and first aid points. Plasters are the item used most often, so kits run low on them first. These suit offices, warehouses, workshops and site welfare units.
Restocking BS 8599-1 and HSE workplace first aid kits after use.
Covering small cuts and grazes on hands and fingers at work.
Keeping spare plasters at reception or in a site office.
Topping up travel and vehicle first aid kits.
Supplying first aid points across several floors or sites.
Step 1: Wash and dry your hands, or put on gloves.
Step 2: Clean the cut with a sterile wipe and let the skin dry.
Step 3: Choose a plaster size with a pad that covers the whole cut.
Step 4: Peel off the backing without touching the pad, and press the plaster down firmly around the edges.
Step 5: Change the plaster if it gets dirty or starts to lift.
Putting a plaster on damp or greasy skin, so it does not stick.
Touching the pad, which is sterile until the pack is opened.
Using clear plasters in food areas, where blue detectable plasters are needed.
Covering a deep or heavily bleeding wound with a plaster instead of a dressing.
Letting first aid kits run out of plasters between checks.
Plasters are for minor cuts and grazes only. Use a sterile dressing and seek medical help for deep wounds, heavy bleeding or signs of infection. Stop use if the skin reacts to the adhesive.
Store the pack in a cool, dry place. Use plasters before the expiry date on the pack, and discard any with damaged wrappers.
Q: What are clear washproof plasters used for?
A: They cover small cuts and grazes at work and stay on through hand washing. The clear film is discreet on hands and fingers. Most buyers use them to restock workplace first aid kits.
Q: What does washproof mean on a plaster?
A: Washproof means the plaster stays in place through hand washing and splashes. It is not the same as waterproof, which suggests longer time under water. For swimming or long immersion, a fully waterproof dressing is a better choice.
Q: Are these plasters suitable for sensitive skin?
A: They use a low allergy acrylic adhesive, which is gentler on most skin. Anyone with a known adhesive allergy should check before use and stop if the skin reacts.
Q: What are these plasters not suitable for?
A: They are not for food preparation areas, where blue detectable plasters are used. They are not for deep wounds or heavy bleeding, which need a sterile dressing. They are not designed for swimming or long periods under water.
Q: Why choose clear plasters over fabric plasters?
A: Fabric plasters soak up water and can lift after hand washing. These clear plasters use a washproof film, so they stay on longer. They are also less noticeable on the skin.
Q: Can I use these to restock a first aid kit?
A: They suit both BS 8599-1 and HSE workplace kits, which list assorted plasters. Check the kit’s contents list to see how many plasters it should hold.
Q: How should plasters be stored?
A: Keep them in a cool, dry place in their pack. Use them before the expiry date printed on the pack, and discard any with damaged wrappers.
