Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When do I need a large plaster versus a dressing?
A: Use a large plaster for wounds that are too big for standard plasters but small enough to be covered by a single adhesive plaster. If the wound exceeds the plaster pad area, transition to a sterile wound dressing secured with tape or bandage.
Q: Should I stock large plasters in my first aid kit?
A: BS 8599-1 kits specify assorted plasters which typically include large sizes. Stocking additional large plasters is recommended for workplaces with higher rates of hand and forearm injuries where standard plasters are frequently too small.
