Can I use these if I have a plaster allergy?
Hypoallergenic plasters significantly reduce the risk of adhesive-related skin reactions compared to standard plasters. However, individuals with known severe adhesive allergies should test a small area first or consult their healthcare provider for alternative wound coverage options.
Are these suitable for kitchen environments?

These hypoallergenic washproof plasters are suited to any wet environment where blue plasters are not mandated.
