Boots Faster Healing Hydrocolloid Plasters - 16 Pack
Promotes healing and reduces scarring. Heals and protects to relieve pain. Waterproof and hypoallergenic.
Boots Hydrocolloid Plasters maintain a moist environment under the plaster, providing the optimum conditions for a wound to heal. The principle of moist wound healing has been used in hospitals and by professionals for many years. This leads to no hard scab formation, which can reduce scarring and promote faster healing. These plasters also have a breathable, waterproof and germproof film backing. All Boots plasters are hypoallergenic so they are kind to sensitive skin.
Contents:

To remove the plaster, lift one corner and gently pull away from the skin.
