Adhesive plasters are medical dressings that consist of a sterile pad attached to a sticky backing. They are used to cover and protect minor wounds, cuts, or abrasions from infection and further injury. The adhesive allows the plaster to stay in place on the skin, providing a barrier while promoting healing. These plasters come in various sizes and materials to accommodate different types of injuries.

How do you get plasters off?

To remove a plaster, gently peel back one corner and slowly pull it away from the skin, keeping it close to the surface to minimize discomfort. If it's stuck, you can dampen the plaster with warm water or a bit of oil to help loosen the adhesive. Alternatively, you can also use adhesive removers specifically designed for this purpose. Always ensure the area is clean afterward to prevent irritation.
