Plasters and Plaster Dispensers

Choose the Right Plaster for the Workplace

Plasters are available in a variety of materials, sizes, and designs. The best option depends on where the wound is located, how the skin reacts to adhesives, and the environment in which the plaster will be used.

Textile Plasters, Plastic Plasters and Blue Detectable Plasters

• Textile plasters: Flexible and comfortable plasters that are well suited for fingers and hands where the skin moves frequently.
• Plastic plasters: Available in water-resistant designs and can be practical when hands are often exposed to water. Check the product specifications for details.
• Blue detectable plasters: Commonly used in food handling environments. The blue colour makes them easier to spot visually, while versions with a metal-detectable strip can also be detected by suitable equipment.
• Plasters for sensitive skin: Some plasters feature particularly skin-friendly adhesives. Check the product information if you need an option designed for sensitive skin.
• Specialist plasters: Special plasters are available for uses such as blisters and minor burns.

Plaster Dispensers for the Workplace

A wall-mounted plaster dispenser keeps plasters in a designated location and makes them easy to access when needed.

Salvequick plaster dispensers are designed so that one adhesive side is exposed when the plaster is pulled from the dispenser. This allows the plaster to be applied with one hand. The refill cartridges are also secured inside the dispenser, which can help reduce unnecessary consumption.

For workplaces where plasters are used frequently, a dispenser can be a practical alternative to loose plaster boxes.

Which Refill Fits Your Plaster Dispenser?

Plaster refills are available in different materials, sizes, and pack quantities. Not all refills are compatible with all dispensers.

Always check your dispenser model and the refill types it is designed for before ordering. Also compare the number of plasters per pack, especially if you maintain multiple dispensers across the workplace.

Additional replenishment products can be found within the first aid refill range.

Clean the Wound Before Applying a Plaster

Minor wounds should be cleaned thoroughly before being covered with a plaster or dressing. Lukewarm running water, and when necessary mild soap, is often sufficient to remove dirt and debris.

Allow the skin around the wound to dry before applying the plaster. Replace the plaster if it becomes dirty or wet, and always follow the product instructions.
