Elastoplast Spray Plaster

Give me a kitchen and a knife and yes, your guaranteed to find a cut somewhere on my hand. Plasters are a norm for me but I do find them getting in the way quite a bit of the time and when cooking, I am worried about the amount of germs that the good old plaster can harbour. Always on hand in my medicine cupboard would be a small bottle of Germoline New Skin. Stings like hell when you put it on but still. Not any more though now, I have found Elastoplast Spray Plaster. Elastoplast are well known for making plasters and recently when walking around my local Tesco on my regular weekly shopping trip I spotted this great little addition to my first aid ...  Read the complete review

Plasters are a must have in any house and with two little girls who are quite prone to tripping over and gaining the odd cut they are an absolute necessity for us. However, although I have nothing against them in principle, with the normal type of sticky plaster which we are all used to, there comes a number of problems. Firstly, sometimes they do not stay on long enough. It's really annoying when a plaster starts to come away from the cut and flaps all over the place, especially if you are out somewhere and can't immediately replace it. It's irritating and it's also no longer protecting the wound. Also, it doesn't take long for a plaster on a child's finger ...  Read the complete review

I bought this because I was getting annoyed at plasters that always come off and I wanted something that would cover and protect the cuts on my hands whilst I was working. It cost around £5 for a little 32.5ml spray can. The can is silver with a blue plastic lid that pulls off. The plaster is basically a liquid that you spray onto any cuts or grazes and it's supposed to seal out dirt and water. You just spray it on and leave it to dry for a minute, and it forms a light film over the skin. You can see it on the skin where you've sprayed it, it looks a little shiny, but it's not really obvious, and you can't find an edge to it so it's not like it ...  Read the complete review

Ok I'm going to confess I haven't actually ever bought this item, I spraed it on one night in Tesco to see how it worked. I sprayed it on a slight cut on my hand and regreted it as soon as I sprayed it. The smell was absolutely awful, it smelt like those fabric plasters mixed with burning plastic. The smell did really make me gag and I don't usually mind anything like this as I love the smell of fabric plasters. It is quite discreet though as it is see through and meant to be quite flexible, but to me it felt like I had super glue stuck on my hand and looked like it as well. So wandering round the store with my partner giggling at me ...  Read the complete review

I have only ever used a tin of the elastoplast spray plaster and that was to try it out. Im quite an accident prone person and spend alot of time using plasters which not only are a little annoying but can be quite cross contaminating in my line of work. In anycase i thought that i would give this a whirl, I bought the spray plaster at an local pharmacist for about 4 -5 pounds which I thought was great value if I got lots of applications out of it. On my first attempt at using the spray I found that when I sprayed it on my cut it felt cold and stung for a while in the generalised area of application. It took a good minute for the plaster to dry and although it covered ...  Read the complete review
