Fabric dressing strips provide continuous plaster material that can be cut to the exact size required for each wound. The fabric construction conforms to body contours and moves with the skin, making strips suited to irregular wounds, larger grazes, and areas where pre-cut plasters do not provide adequate coverage.
Compliance Summary: These dressing strips provide flexible, cut-to-size wound coverage. Suited to workplaces where wound sizes vary and pre-cut plasters may not always match the injury area.
How do I cut the strip to the right size?
Measure the wound and cut the strip approximately 1-2cm larger on each side to ensure the adhesive border surrounds the wound pad completely. Round the corners of the cut strip to prevent peeling at the edges during wear.
Can I use dressing strips instead of individual plasters?
Dressing strips supplement rather than replace individual plasters. They are particularly useful for irregular or elongated wounds where standard plasters do not provide adequate coverage. Keep both individual plasters and dressing strips in your first aid provision for maximum flexibility.
