Savlon Advanced Plasters

I work in a laboratory, and I am required to wear gloves all day, when you have a small cut on your finger the gloves cause irritation, leading to a lengthy healing process, even in the smallest of cuts. Having an plaster covering small cuts is an absolute must, however, I have often found that as I have to wash my hands thoroughly several times during the working day, most plasters do not stand up well, and need replacing often. This new Savlon Advanced Plaster seemed to offer the ideal solution to my problem. Unlike most 'waterproof' plasters, these are made from skin friendly breathable fabric, they combine stretchiness, adhesion and water-resistance. They are ...  Read the complete review

Today I did some cleaning in the bathroom, found a box of these, and remembered the stress and upset they had cause me. I got a small sample box of these of a website as freebie back in the summer. I used them myself and found them very good. There was a variety of sizes they stuck well. They covered my wound nicely and did not fall off when I did the washing up. Overall, I was happy that these plasters did the job until my daughter had a small graze on her leg and I put one on to keep her happy. The graze had been bleeding a tiny bit so to keep the peace I stuck one of these new advanced savlon plasters on. Again stuck on fine. My daughter had used savlon ...  Read the complete review

I had a nasty accident the other and although there is not much to look at, my finger is very painful. I dropped a petal sheet on my finger and the side of it sheered off the top of the finger nail and left it literally hanging on the end of my finger. My first reaction was to pull the whole thing off but it was too painful. I used an ordinary plaster of no particular brand that I found in my first aid box. Every time it touched anything the adhesive became less effective and the plaster worked lose. This was very painful because as it moved, so did the nail. Every time I got my hands wet, or tried to type on my keyboard the whole ...  Read the complete review

I trully trust Savlon brand for all their first aid products. I have been using their antiseptic solution for a very long time. They produce some of the most sophistcated products in great easy to use packaging. These advances plasters are advanced indeed in every way possible. A few days ago while playing with my son who demands new things to play with every couple of minutes, I had a terrible accident. I was offering a care kit to my son to play with and there were several items in the kit that was securely closed. By accident I opened the kit and the shaver that was sitting in the kit cut the top of my index finger with it's blade with great force ...  Read the complete review

Savlon is a well known brand and so I chose these plasters based in this but mainly because they are BREATHABLE. I find that if you have a basic plaster on your finger, it makes the skin sweat underneath, and when you take the plaster off, your finger is kind of smelly even after a day of wearing. These ones are water resistant and don't hold water and dry quickly. They let your skin breathe underneath. I cut the top of my thumb badly the other day when using a sharp knife to cut an onion. I put one of these on and it stretched nicely aroung the area to fit well, and the special pad stopped the bleeding fast. I have found with other plasters that when the injury is in ...  Read the complete review
