Leukoplast plaster 10CM x 5MT

The 10CM x 5MT Leukoplast plaster is a reliable and versatile solution designed for the protection and coverage of wounds, cuts, abrasions and skin lesions. This patch, characterized by a length of 5 meters and a width of 10 centimetres, allows you to easily cut the desired quantity based on individual needs, thus ensuring maximum practicality in both the home and professional environments. Leukoplast is known for its high adhesiveness, which ensures a secure fixation even in the presence of movement, sweating or light contact with water. Its flexible texture adapts perfectly to both regular and irregular surfaces of the body, offering high comfort during prolonged use. Designed for optimal use on different types of dressings, it is ideal for both extensive fixations and localized applications. The breathable material allows the skin to breathe, reducing the risk of maceration and promoting a protected environment for rapid wound healing. Furthermore, the neutral color of the patch helps to make it discreet under clothing.

Therapeutic Indications

The 10CM x 5MT Leukoplast plaster is mainly indicated for the secure fixation of dressings on acute and chronic wounds, cuts, scrapes, superficial abrasions and sutures. The product is particularly recommended when you need a large and reliable coverage that protects from dirt, bacteria and external agents. It can also be used to reinforce bandages, keep cannulae, medical tubes, gauze and catheters in position. Leukoplast is suitable for frequent use in dressings following minor surgical interventions, in emergency rooms, outpatient clinics, hospital departments, as well as in the management of bedsores, ulcers or in the presence of stitches that require additional protection. Thanks to its resistance and ability to keep the support firm for several hours, the patch is also useful for home medications in bedridden patients, the elderly and children. Leukoplast significantly reduces wound exposure to pathogens, accelerating the healing process and limiting the risk of secondary infections.

Composition

The Leukoplast 10CM x 5MT plaster is made with a high quality non-woven fabric support, characterized by a high ability to adapt to different body shapes. The hypoallergenic adhesive based on modified natural rubber guarantees excellent adhesive performance and reduces the risk of skin irritation, even in subjects with sensitive or delicate skin. The support features a low level of rigidity, ensuring flexibility and freedom of movement. The external surface of the patch is permeable to air and water vapor, ensuring that the skin breathes while remaining protected from dust and water infiltration. The adhesive side, thanks to advanced Leukoplast technology, ensures a strong but delicate fixation to avoid pain during removal. The patch does not contain medicinal substances or pharmacological active ingredients and is completely free of natural latex to reduce the risk of allergy. Each roll is individually sealed to guarantee maximum hygiene until use and to keep the adhesive properties of the product unaltered.

Contraindications

The Leukoplast patch must not be applied to open or infected wounds without prior covering with a sterile dressing. Use is not recommended in subjects with known hypersensitivity or proven allergy to the adhesive or to any of the materials used in its manufacture. If redness, persistent itching, skin irritation or other local adverse reactions appear, immediately discontinue use and consult a doctor. Prolonged application on sensitive skin areas or areas subject to abundant perspiration may increase the risk of skin maceration. Do not use the Leukoplast patch for fixing dressings in severely damaged skin areas, on second or third degree burns or on areas where there are signs of advanced infection. Avoid application on eyes, mucous membranes, mouth and genital organs. Do not use if the packaging appears damaged or altered.

Safety of the drug for the species

Leukoplast 10CM x 5MT is formulated to be well tolerated by both adults and children and can be used safely even on fragile or particularly reactive skin. Thanks to the hypoallergenic adhesive, the risk of skin sensitization phenomena is reduced compared to traditional plasters. To ensure maximum safety, it is important to observe the correct application methods: the skin must be clean, dry and free of residues of creams or oils before application. In case of profuse sweating or exposure of the treated area to water, periodically check that the fixation remains appropriate and that the underlying skin is in good condition. It is not recommended to reapply the patch after removal, in order to avoid loss of adhesiveness and contamination of the adhesive surface. Dermo-toxicological studies confirm the excellent safety profile of Leukoplast even during prolonged use over several days, as long as the instructions for use are respected.

Precautions

Before use it is essential to check the integrity of the package: do not use damaged rolls or rolls with a missing seal. Always cut the required amount of plaster using clean, disinfected scissors to avoid contamination of the dressing. Apply Leukoplast only on dry and clean skin, avoiding the presence of residues of creams or other topical products, as these can interfere with the adhesive power of the patch. Replace the dressing regularly, especially in high humidity conditions or after contact with water. Do not leave the patch in place for prolonged periods without medical supervision, especially in the case of particularly sensitive skin or in the presence of compression bandages. After removal, sanitize the area and allow adequate air exchange before a new application. Keep the product out of the reach of children; avoid the roll being handled without supervision by a responsible adult. If you experience persistent signs of skin irritation, consult your doctor.

Method of administration

The Leukoplast 10CM x 5MT plaster is simple to use: remove the protective film and carefully cut the desired length. Apply the patch over the dressing or directly onto dry skin, applying light pressure to promote adhesion. Pay particular attention when affixing to avoid the formation of creases which could compromise the fixing. It is possible to shape the patch as needed, making it suitable for fixing difficult points or following the contours of the body. For more extensive dressings or complex fixations, use multiple overlapping strips, always keeping the skin clean. A few hours after application, check that the patch is still firmly anchored and that no irritation or redness has formed. Remove the patch gently, starting from one edge and pulling parallel to the skin to limit traction and allow for comfortable removal.

Treatment program

The Leukoplast plaster can be used as needed, depending on the condition of the wound and the doctor's instructions. In the case of surgical dressings, replacement is generally recommended at least once a day or according to health guidelines. For superficial lesions, replacement can take place every 24-48 hours unless otherwise prescribed. In case of exposure to water, intense sweating or loss of adhesiveness, it is advisable to promptly replace the patch with a new application. In some post-operative situations or in cases of complex dressings, the Leukoplast plaster guarantees reliable coverage even for several days, as long as the area remains clean and dry. In children or the elderly, carefully supervise the fixation for any signs of irritation. Constant use of the plaster, following correct hygiene practices, helps to protect the wound and avoid infections, thus accelerating healing and minimizing the risk of complications.
