HypaPlast blue catering plasters in 7.2x5cm wide format provide food-safe wound coverage for commercial kitchens and food handling environments. The blue colour is immediately visible against all food products if the plaster detaches during preparation, supporting HACCP contamination control.
Compliance Summary: These plasters meet catering industry requirements for detectable wound coverage. Blue colour supports visual identification in food preparation areas as required by HACCP food safety management systems and expected during Environmental Health Officer inspections.
When should I use the wide format?
The 7.2x5cm wide plaster provides broader coverage for cuts and grazes that exceed the width of standard 2.5cm strip plasters. Common applications include palm cuts, wide finger lacerations, and forearm abrasions sustained during kitchen work.
Does the wider plaster affect dexterity?
The 7.2x5cm format is designed to cover larger wounds while still allowing reasonable hand function. For fine dexterity tasks, the narrower 2.5cm strip or fingertip format may be more practical. Use the widest plaster necessary to fully cover the wound.
